Of course you are aware that I have a bit of a thing about abandoned buildings, so it won’t surprise you to know that I pulled off the road for a few shots of this place.
This is just north of the thriving community of Cline’s Corners, New Mexico, which is famous for thousands of billboards letting travelers on the interstate know how fabulous Cline’s Corners is. (The only thing, to my knowledge, that is in Cline’s Corners is a 30,000 square foot “retail center” which sells the usual roadside-store stuff.)
The building I photographed used to be a roadside store, too, but wasn’t able to benefit from interstate traffic or billboards or tourists. But here’s the important difference: I didn’t make any photographs at Cline’s Corners.

Geometry was the only math class I liked. Perhaps that resulted in my love of photographing rectangles.
At any rate, I located this set of geometries in an out-of-the-way street in Barbados.

I’ve been here, taking this class. Tonight, I go see this. And I’ll be home tomorrow and can respond to your comments.
The secret is to stay out of the sun
These shutters are like a sunhat for this building. They keep the sun off the windows, but allow the ocean breezes in.

While you are reading this, I am wearing my own hat, to keep the desert sun off my face. I’ll be back around shortly and will reply to your comments as soon as I can.
Sometimes the light
Sometimes the light just hands you a gift.
The morning had been overcast, but just as we got to this building, the sun broke through and…this happened.

One day a few months, one of my photographer pals phoned me up and encouraged me to take a particular class at the Santa Fe Photographic Workshops; that’s where I am this week. Because of that, it will probably take me a while to respond to your comments. But I will get to them.
