The thing is that when you’re from somewhere relatively new (like Lubbock, which was incorporated in 1909) and go someplace relatively old (like Palermo, which has been around for more than 2,700 years) everything seems so rich in detail and history and stories that it starts to feel like very single thing needs to be photographed. And while I did not actually accomplish that lofty goal, I sure did give it a good try, which is why I present this: a pair of wooden doors, a garbage pail, a keypad entry, and a “no parking” sign.

The down side of going to Palermo is that Lubbock doesn’t stand up very well in comparison.
