orange night

I used to have a job (and I thought it was a career, but I was wrong) at the local transit system. This orange building was just across the street from where I worked but I was so caught up in the excitement* of my job that I hardly noticed that it was there.

So maybe it was an apology to the place when I went downtown the other night and made some photos of it.

*When I say “excitement” I actually mean abject boredom and rampant sexism. So you know, practically the very same thing.

Last year when I came back from Scotland, I wasn’t really doing very well – physically and mentally – while I was there, and during post-trip editing I felt a little bit like the quantity and quality of my images didn’t quite justify the trip.

But it’s a new year. I feel better. I’ve learned….well, I’ve learned a lot. And the photos from last year that I thought were too dumb to even look at suddenly seem a lot different.

That is ONE TALL COWBOY. And I’m pretty sure that, while he’s super polite and takes his hat off when he meets a lady and says “howdy” and all that, he also isn’t going to be too inclined to take any shit off of anyone.

“daddy” seems ominous in this context

 

WHAT IS HAPPENING HERE?

Are you as creeped out as I am by seeing “Daddy” painted over there on that wall?

i love a good reflection

You don’t have to spend a real long time looking through my photo archive (a term I use because I am feeling extra fancy today) to figure out that I take a lot of photos of things reflected in windows.

So you shouldn’t be too surprised to see what I found in Ness City, Kansas. (I don’t know what a “Ness” is and I’d be hard-pressed to call the place a “city” but at least it had reflections.)
