high plains minimalism
I guess if I’m being honest, the term “high plains minimalism” is sort of redundant. I mean…it’s the plains. It’s flat. There aren’t a bunch of trees. Etc.
But on the other hand, this view seemed extra minimalistic for some reason.

rodeo practice
My New England visitors and I missed the rodeo, which started just two nights after we were in town.
However, we were like moths drawn to the flame of arena lights across the road and went over to see what was going on. A very nice woman, who was holding a clipboard (the universal sign that a person is Definitely In Charge), let us hang around and watch the riders practicing the grand entry.
And like a lot of things that just fall into place, it was a highlight of our trip.

over to the sixes
In all my years of photographing west Texas, I’ve never made this (rather cliched) shot. It’s about time I did, though!

travel options
Thank you, Oklahoma, for showing us which direction the horizon goes. I mean, I’m used to seeing it, but I bet those New England photographers I was traveling with appreciated the assistance.

“So, I was drivin’ up through that Big Texan place and I swear there was a gal practically LAYING DOWN in a puddle. And she was holdin’ a camera, too. It’s the gol-darn truth. Mebbe she had one a them sunstrokes or sumpthin.” -this guy to his buddies
