Balance seemed iffy

Is it me, or does that building look like it’s about to fall over to the left?

Or does that joist sticking out look like a crowbar, left for a giant who is going to use it to pry the place apart?

Either way, I don’t think the long term outlook is particularly favorable.

Sundogs barkin’

Hello, and welcome to Random Music Friday, where we here at One Day | One Image introduce you to, well, random music. Today’s song is “Julia”, by the Flatlanders, one of many exceptional bands with deep musical roots in Lubbock.

Anyway, give the song a listen; it’ll make the title of this post make sense. Maybe.

Burn Barrel

I don’t know for sure if we’ve ever actually used the burn barrels out at our country place, but we’ve got them. Just in case. They’ve got a nice rusty look to them now – in other words, they are just starting to look old enough for me to want to photograph them.

Available Light

Afternoon sun, on dead flowers, a leafless trees, and a window missing glass and screen.

no one thought it would end this way

If you add together all the times I’ve done a shoot with models, it would total one. One time. And only because I had to as part of a photography class I took.

But this happened, and I will put it in the “even a blind squirrel finds a nut” category because – and I cannot emphasize this too much – I did not know what the hell I was doing.
