Loading Zone (but no one to load)

I’ll be the very first to admit that the Lubbock airport isn’t the busiest airport I’ve ever been to. It is the busiest airport in all of Lubbock County, though, so there’s that.

But I digress.

During the Time of Virus and No Traveling, the passenger loading zone had very little to do.

Air Travel Down 91%

This tells you almost everything you need to know about what’s going on out at the airport during the coronavirus siege.

Diagonals

This time I was shooting through some old glass that had wire mesh inlaid in it. And look! The diagonal of the mesh and the diagonal of the stairs match.

Chain and Block (with pigeon)

The big wooden door on this abandoned building had a lens-sized hole way down at the bottom. You know what I did.

I like making these kinds of photos, shooting blind through holes or dirty glass, because it’s a (usually good) surprise when I see the finished image. If I’d been doing this the “right” way, framing up the shot and all that stuff, I’m not sure I could have done better than the way the chain, the concrete block, and the pigeon arranged themselves.

That door? It’s short, right?

I am not an especially tall person, but even to me that door seemed really short.
