icm (obligatory shot)
The sunset started in spectacular and over the course of a half-hour or so, just kept getting better and better.
After a while, I took a break from making regular sunset photos, and decided to do some with intentional camera movement. It’s kind of a cliche, a little redundant, perhaps derivative, but still I liked swirling the oranges and yellow together.

If you were to draw a line from Buddy Holly’s grave to my parents’ graves, it would intersect this statue by noted sculptor Charles Umlauf.
I’ve photographed it and written about the statue’s history in a previous post. This time, when I went to photograph it I was in a different mood than that post – less documentary and more emotional. And so that’s how this image earned a spot in my new series that I am calling “the world as we knew it.”

“The trouble with normal is it always get worse” – a Bruce Cockburn lyric, written in 1981.
“Each time we allow ourselves to get used to some new ugliness, we set the stage for something worse. It wasn’t hard, even back then, to see what was coming.” – a Bruce Cockburn comment on that lyric, from 2001.
