orange night
I used to have a job (and I thought it was a career, but I was wrong) at the local transit system. This orange building was just across the street from where I worked but I was so caught up in the excitement* of my job that I hardly noticed that it was there.
So maybe it was an apology to the place when I went downtown the other night and made some photos of it.

*When I say “excitement” I actually mean abject boredom and rampant sexism. So you know, practically the very same thing.

One woman photographed at dusk, walking between the church and the cemetery. Also, sunset this time of year in Edinburgh is at 4:20 pm, in case you were wondering.

as memory fades
Talk about a bleak message on a tombstone…but memories do fade, no matter how much you think they won’t.

late afternoon traffic
Last year when I came back from Scotland, I wasn’t really doing very well – physically and mentally – while I was there, and during post-trip editing I felt a little bit like the quantity and quality of my images didn’t quite justify the trip.
But it’s a new year. I feel better. I’ve learned….well, I’ve learned a lot. And the photos from last year that I thought were too dumb to even look at suddenly seem a lot different.

yellow fish
Usually Santa Rosa is a drive through place, on my way elsewhere. Rarely, I’ll stop for the night, like I did last month.
And because it was a beautiful evening, with a hint of cool in the air, I spent a long time outside making photos of things like a concrete pier at the local town lake. Those yellow fish sort of drew me in to the scene…
