anniversary: 54 years

Exactly 54 years before the day I made this photos of storm clouds over north Lubbock, a deadly tornado struck almost this same part of town.

People who lived here then still refer to it simply as “May 11” and the rest is understood.

bel air, with patina

It sure felt like Cuba on that particular block. It was humid, the color palette was similar, and there was this car with an amazing hood ornament.

But it was just Dallas…

“Because I don’t want to leave my camera in the car.” – the stated reason for taking it inside with me

“Because I’m hoping to get some interesting photos in there.” – the real reason for taking it inside with me

If you go to the Hass Moto Museum and ask the guy at the entrance if you can take photos inside, he’ll say, “Sure!” So that’s great.

And I am sort of convinced that it only seemed like the security guard was following me the whole time I was there. But I didn’t even care, because I was too busy getting myself lined up to photograph stuff like this.

circle of leaf: a cemetery diptych

The thickness of cemetery greenery gave way to some oddities, including an odd clearing with a pile of white animal bones and a circle of leaves making a protective crown around a cross-embossed headstone.
