free hugs
This couple made me happy and I hope that they were able to give plenty of mom- and dad-hugs that day.

Look at her fantastic smile! I couldn’t resist asking to take her photo…

tie-dye
Yes, I do recall that it was just yesterday when I said that making photos of just the backs of people started to seem dismissive.
But also, in some cases, the backs of people were colorful and joyous and seemed to need some documentation. I can break those rules just about as fast as I can make ’em. Evidently.

your approval
One of the things I try to always do photographically is keep trying new things.
Lately my best time with my camera has been trying street photography. Those of you who live in large urban areas and/or places where people just walk around a lot may find this hard to even imagine, but I have to think about where people might be and then go to those places on purpose in hopes of getting some shots.
And that is one of the reasons that I found myself at the local Pride event the other day. I am glad I went, and not just because I did have the chance to photograph a lot of people: attending gave me a bit more understanding of how it’s not always easy to be a member of the LGBQTIA+ community in a place like Lubbock. And gaining some understanding and empathy is never a bad thing.

that bucket of wheels
I do not need one single thing more inside my house. Really. It’s good the way it is.
But if any of you need a big bucket of wheels, let me know and I’ll tell you where these are.
