Dish Cupboard
Y’all, I did a thing. It’s a thing that’s not as far outside my comfort zone as it used to be but that’s still not a thing I can do without sort of having to talk myself into it.
The thing I did was to go inside the Historic Rocksprings Hotel and have a chat with the owner. I wasn’t staying there or anything – I was passing through town and decided to stop and look at the place. She was perfectly lovely, and let me take photos, and I lived to tell about it. Amazing! And I might even do something like this again; you just never know.
Here’s the dish and cookbook sections of the kitchen that’s on the back of the first floor. There’s not a restaurant – just a big kitchen with lots of pots and pans and dishes and guests are encouraged to prepare their own meals.

Hotel Study #2
That hotel lobby provided a nice range of contrasting shapes, didn’t it?

Cones
A before-dawn hotel lobby had some things of photographic interest, like the candy machines. But even better than the machines were the paper cones on top of them paired with the cone-shaped reflections on the brick wall. Goodness.

Succulent
It seems like a million years ago, but at the beginning of the month, I traveled to San Diego for a conference.
I made this shot in the hotel lobby while I was waiting on Uber to arrive so I could fly home.

The long and well-lighted hallway
This is a pretty crappy hotel – cardboard boxes and other flammable stuff stored in the fire exit, lumpy pillows, exfoliating towels, etc. But it did have this going for it: a nice view of a long, lighted hallway.
So, there’s that.
