game/face
Because I am still encumbered by that delightful orthopedic boot, I am looking for ways I can still make photos without a lot of walking around. Also, it’s freaking hot and who needs to be walking around in that??
Turns out that a minor league baseball game holds a pretty good set of subjects, including this player getting ready for his turn at bat. I’ve never quite seen this much concentration on one face.

I’ve been watching the place for a long time, waiting for the abandonment to hit the critical, photo-worthy point. And it’s nearly there…
The day I visited I noticed how those letters were cut from sheets of plywood. And then I realized that the wood grain is going in different directions on the letters and now I can’t un-see that part of it. (That’s a weird relic in my brain left over from when I was learning – unsuccessfully – to sew. Nice that I still remember to lay a pattern the same direction on the grain of the fabric and how hilarious that one thing still hangs around to influence random photographs.)

Of course my eye was drawn to the only bit of color in the scene…even though what I’d gone over there to photograph was the remains of a building on the right side of the image. Now I can understand that the building-husk was just the bait to lure me in.

there’s always a water bottle
Fun fact: almost every abandoned building will have at least one water bottle gathering dust along with the other discarded parts of someone’s life.
