this ought to have been in Brownfield

 

We are right in the middle of what I like to call the Truth in Naming Belt: we’ve got towns called Levelland, Brownfield, Shallowater, Earth, Plainview, Plains, Sundown. And those names are accurate.

Anyway, although I spotted this practically monochromatic scene in Littlefield, I sort of think it needs to be in Brownfield…

shady

 

Oh, yes – here I go again, shooting photos through dusty windows into buildings full of random discards. Lately I’ve been seeing a lot of lamps and most of them are just as nice as the ones you can see here. If you get my drift.

the reason

 

One of the little photography jokes I use to keep entertained is finding juxtapositions of things that are unrelated and smashing them together in an image.

Unless Jesus has/had a dog allergy and that’s why they’re banned.

what the hell

Y’all. Y’ALL!!

I was making a series of photos of this plastic curtain waving in the breeze (at a place I assumed was abandoned because context clues) when a person (holy shit: a person!!) pulled back the curtain and looked at me.

No words. Not then, not now.

tulle + stilts

If you’ve ever seen me walk, you know that I not generally all that graceful or coordinated. I would have benefitted from having gone to dance lessons as a kid. Probably.

So it was with great awe that I saw a person on stilts, walking on a brick street right in front of a moving vehicle. And while all that was going on, she was smiling and waving to the crowd.
