concrete takes many forms

The reason I even knew to look for this place is that a photographer from South Carolina, that I met in Cuba, told me about it.

The photographic world is really pretty small.

Anyway, it’s not lush. Or shady. Or green. But of course that makes it photographically more interesting (to me) and I spent a while there the other morning.

And, here’s a couple of ways that concrete can be formed into different shapes, each with a very specific use.

the frontier

I can’t imagine a world where there’s not a Frontier Restaurant in Albuquerque; it’s been right there on the corner of Central Avenue and Cornell Avenue since I can remember*. It’s good. It’s cheap. It’s open long hours. And (as you can see here) they bus the tables for you.

*Never you mind how long that is.

This is Bennett. She will be in the 4th grade in the fall. She loves sports (all of them)(but especially soccer) and never ever walks if she can run. She wants to be an astronaut. She’s got an outstanding, quick sense of humor and has a sweet and gentle soul.

You’ll know when you see what I saw.

In nine days on the road, I made 3,000 photographs. This is by far the most joyful one of the entire bunch. And it sure made me happy I finally released myself from that ban on photographing people.
