Window Frame/Window (framed)
A frame, then a frame, inside another batch of frames. And some jagged glass, too, just to keep things interesting.

they continued to maintain an open-door policy
I have looked inside many abandoned buildings. And I will never, ever be able to accurately predict what I’ll see. I did not expect a kitchen in the back corner of this building that had a faded Lions Club emblem on the front. I didn’t imagine that all the doors would be open – or in that one case, hanging from a single hinge. And I didn’t even know that at one point the top shelves of dishwasher were a space-wasting circular design.
Photography: it’s educational!

Fancy Dress
I have a thing for store windows that are filled with (sometimes) headless mannequins wearing fluffy dresses.
See Roswell, New Mexico, Dodge City, Kansas, Lubbock, Texas, or Abilene, Texas, for a few examples.

Rolled, stored, and forgotten
So, I pulled off the road to photograph a falling-down wooden building. It offered only marginal photographically-interesting things, so I wandered around a bit more and then found this. I made the photo because of that rolled up thing in the corner, but between when I made it and when I wrote this post, I changed my mind: now my favorite part is the scars on the metal wall, which speak to generations of various kinds of farm equipment banging into the wall.

José, 1958
On one corner of this cemetery, there was a huge black marble marker. It was taller than me and I am sure they needed a sizeable crane to lift it into place. I didn’t photograph it.
But this tiny marker? I loved it.
