Book Burning 1: Ansel Adams
There was a fire in downtown Lubbock last month; some apartments, a barbershop, and a used book store were destroyed. Naturally, my camera and I went out to look around; by the day I explored, the salvageable things (metal joists, mostly) had been pulled out to one side and everything else was pushed into a pile. And, shining like a beacon from the pile was Ansel Adams’s autobiography.

Rodeo Portrait 1
I know: there’s a person on my blog. And you want to know what else? I went to a rodeo with the sole purpose of making this kind of photo – one with a person or two in it. I did! And it was actually an enjoyable challenge.
But, still, sort of shocking.
