(not the) moon
Here’s a view from that giant hotel room I mentioned yesterday. I like it that this looks like it might be the moon, but isn’t.

Hotel rooms always seem full of photos waiting to happen.
Last week I spent the night in San Angelo. One night. One person. And all I needed was one room with one bed. For some reason, they gave me a suite which had more square feet than the first apartment I rented. It had a living room! A giant bedroom! Two TV sets! A full size closet! A bar sink! Windows on two sides of the room! A desk! Two ( !! ) dressers. It was a lot, especially because I was exhausted and honestly the walk all the way to the bed in the other room seemed like it was almost more than I could do.
But on the way to the bedroom, I did see this cool lamp.

It was 104° at 6:00 pm and I had just the tiniest bit of heat exhaustion. Setting the a/c as low as it would go was very helpful. I know you were wondering.
(Note: I’d had plenty of water that day. And it had electrolytes in it. But still that damn heat just got to me.)

I don’t know if familiarity breeds contempt as much as it breeds photo-blindness.
I would never (never, I say!) even think about photographing the bed at my house. But a hotel room’s bed? I photograph a lot of hotel room beds. They just seem to be a lot more interesting, but that also makes me realize that I am overlooking photographic subjects in my own house.

Yesterday’s post spoke about how I took a lot of photos at the hotel where I stayed in Oklahoma City. And here’s another one.
I just couldn’t stop myself.
