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!

I have a thing for photographing laundromats. I have no idea why – it’s just a subject that frequently captures my eye.

Combine that with my well-know affinity for photographing abandoned places and it’ll get you this image from an out-of-business place I spotted in Louisiana a few years ago.

I just can’t help myself: no matter how many abandoned businesses I spot in my travels, I still have to photograph them. I guess when I see a new one and DON’T want to get an photo of it, I’ll know the photography gig is over…
