freelens, 1

I was sort of at loose ends the other day. And I’d recently read a little bit about freelensing, so I decided to give it a try.

The thing is that just about forever I’ve been a document-it-the-way-it-really-looks kind of photographer. It’s the way I know to shoot, the way I’m comfortable working.

But this? This was a lot of fun. Mostly what I got were images that were definitely delete-able, but I enjoyed the effect of capturing a weird view of my living room.

sky/light

In one way, this is photo of a sky light.

In another way, it’s a photo of a now-useless light fixture presiding over an abandoned parking lot at an out-of-business business.

super service

I mean – I can read the sign. I can understand the words.

But still, somehow, I remained unconvinced that any service provided at this location would rise to the level of “super.”

trios

There’s not a lot in Vaughn, New Mexico, but the stuff that’s there is the stuff I like to photograph. And finding this shot from 2019 reminds me that I need to get back over there.

Thanks, photo archive, for the reminder!

toward the light

By now you are certainly aware that I do not mind photographing through store windows. For some reason I am fascinated by what things look like when no one’s around.

Also: those light fixtures are like the ones I had in my childhood bedroom.
