The rhythm of the place

So, I concentrated on the top of the building, while my friend Ehpem was looking down lower. I guess between us, we had the place covered, photographically speaking.

(If you haven’t looked at Ehpem’s post, you really should. He got a creepy image at the theater.)

There are many here among us

Our photography class from the Los Angeles Center for Photography went on a field trip to Union Station. That’s where I found this scene, of stairs and ramps leading to the train platform.

This shot and this one are thematically related. At least to me. And I may not be really all that reliable.

TPS 26: The International Competition


Levelland, Texas
photographed 11.1.2014

Six. In a row. That’s how many juried photography shows I didn’t get accepted to. That’s six emails that I didn’t read past the depressing combination of “thank you for your interest” and “however.”

Today, I got one of the other kinds of emails, the ones I read all the way to the end! My photo “Some Illumination” was accepted into the Texas Photographic Society’s International Competition; Alison Nordstrӧm was the juror. The show will be at the J. Wayne Stark Galleries at Texas A&M University in College Station, Texas, from May 18 through July 16; the show will have subsequent stops at teh Center for Contemporary Arts in Abilene, Texas, and the Options Gallery at Odessa College, in Odessa, Texas. Stop by, if you can!

Since this is San Fernando’s cathedral, I think I’m safe to assume that is San F. himself up there in that niche.

Lately, I’ve been listening to Rag’n’Bone Man; his song “Human” was in my head when I was working on this photo. Give it a listen, if you want.

The stardust seems to be missing

Travelers who had their hearts set on a restful night at the Stardust Motel are just not in luck, are they?

P.S. One of my regular followers asked what this looked like in color, so here you go:
