First Date
In the summer of 1974, I went to this restaurant for a date with a boy who would go on to become my ex-boyfriend.
The restaurant fared better, and lasted until just a couple of years ago. New owners decided on a full-scale renovation before re-opening; unfortunately they were in over their heads and the renovation wasn’t completed. The building’s vacant and nothing seems to be going on there at all. Except for the usual incremental deterioration, which will probably only get noticed after it’s too late to stop it.

PhotoPlace Gallery – Man in the Landscape
I got word yesterday that this image, “The Cost of Doing Business” was accepted into the online gallery for PhotoPlace Gallery’s show “Man in the Landscape.” I like getting good news at the end of the week. Or at any time, really. You can see the entire set of images here.

Howard
Howard’s place isn’t looking so great.
But what this image made me start thinking about is how, when that metal building across the street from Howard’s starts to fall down, it won’t look nearly as interesting as this.

Toward the end, things were falling apart
This place is falling down, from the ground up.
And, to be honest, it’s also falling down from the roof down.

The rectangles and I are very happy together
Well, that is we were very happy together. Then I went away to take a photography class and we – the rectangles and I – broke up. Things just weren’t working out between us, and it seemed like the right thing to do. We may get back together, sometime. But for now, we need some time apart.
So, when you come back tomorrow, there’s a chance you may notice a slight variation on the sorts of images you may have come to expect to see here.
