passing airport time, #1

 

It is not even possible for me to be bored at an airport, as long as I’ve got a camera.

I passed time the other day at the Albuquerque airport testing out (or, really, playing with) a Zeiss 21mm lens that my friend David loaned to me. And this is what it saw.

it gets worse from here

 

Sun and wind and time have not been kind to this grave-side flag. And it is only going to get worse unless someone steps in to replace it.

death comes

 

I really like to photograph cemeteries and on a recent trip to New Mexico, they were really calling to me. Calling to me photographically, I mean, not in a “why don’t you come join us?” way.

The textures, the symbols, the stories that remain mysterious to me, the cultural and geographical differences all draw me in. And once I’m drawn in, you know for sure I’ll make photos.

telephone jesus

 

Is Jesus always on this telephone pole (and another Jesus on the next pole, too)? Or was it because I was there on Easter weekend?

Obviously I need to go back and verify. Because research is important.

cloud/line

 

Sometimes things just line up the right way. Sometimes that’s just a saying, but also: it can be literal.
