Service entrance
Thank you, Low Sun Angle, for illuminating the service entrance to Buffalo Billiards.
While I took this, a very large man stopped next to me, took a hit from his asthma inhaler and looked around to figure out what exactly it was that I could be interested in photographing. Unable to solve the mystery, he hitched up his pants, and headed on up the street toward Congress Avenue.
I thought you’d like that little detail.

Night
It was almost too much, walking around East 6th Street and the adjoining neighborhood, in Austin. Every place I looked I saw something that I wanted to photograph: walls, signs, bad paint jobs, worn brick, and on and on.
Since 6th Street is known for its nightlife, the best time for someone like me to visit is early Sunday morning, when there are no pesky people to get in the way of a good shot.
I spotted this gem on the way back from the weekly gospel brunch at Stubbs BBQ.

On the outskirts of Wink, Texas, the home of Roy Orbison. His first band, in fact, was called the Wink Westerners. You’ve probably heard of them.
You can see a couple of other views of Wink here and here. (These are the same buildings, taken about a year and half apart. Time has not been kind to Wink.)

Another street scene, but quite different from yesterday’s.
Sunday morning is the chasm between the sounds of last night’s karaoke at the Rock’n Horse Lounge and whatever is going to happen tomorrow at the farm bureau.

What is going on here? This just can’t be right. Yesterday’s assignment for “color” was posted in black and white, because I liked it better that way. And here I am, back on the usual old buildings and I am posting it in color.
There really might be something wrong with me.
The thing that caught my eye with this shot was the pink window. I spotted it from a block away, and it just didn’t seem right to not show it in color.
But, to try to tip the universe back into rightness, here’s the same thing, in black and white.
Whew. I feel so much better now.
