karate
Y’all! I know for sure I am a complete dork about some things. Like the way having a karate place in a town that’s got the word “dodge” in the name completely cracked me up.

Here’s the latest of my sporadic series of ICM images. This one was made last summer in Chicago, in the Lakeshore East Park.

in-person retail fades away (goodbye, sears)
The Sears store in my local mall has been torn down. It’s been vacant for four years.
In the last few weeks the store was open I went up there almost every day to photograph the way a former retail giant looked as it died. At first I was worried that employees might challenge me and/or ask me to leave. But as it turns out, employees who only have that job for another paycheck or two don’t really care all that much.
And so, here are a couple of versions about what the death of Sears looked like.

covering all the (merchandising) bases
What a place! It’s like the WalMart of Chimayó, practically, with the availability of santos, woodcarvings, popsicles, t-shirts, art, books. I mean, what else could you possibly need?
Also, don’t those commas on the stucco wall look like they were added by some kind of ad hoc sign-corrector person?*

*It wasn’t me. It was that way when I got there. I promise.
patriot games
A giant flag dominated the sky (but not this photo, particularly) while a regular-size one fluttered over the intersection of 2nd and Ash.
It sort of seemed like a battle of the flags. I’ll let you decide the winner.
