Gameroom
There are a lot of high-quality signs out here in this part of Texas. These signs are not included in that group.
This building only recently became a game room, and at first that was announced via the words painted right on the building, something my camera captured more than my eye noticed. My guess is that the landlord gave that plan a big “nope” and the first sign was painted out and was then replaced by the current, missing-the-last-letter sign that’s there now.
At any rate, I was so very happy to find this place. (For the photographic opportunities, not for the games.)

Joe
Just a little shot of Joe’s grave in the cemetery at Terlingua Ghost Town. I didn’t know him, but I liked the handful of candles, the tattered flag, and the scratched-concrete grave marker.

Hideaway, for sure
If you are looking for a town to hide out in, I would suggest Pyote. And if, once you’re there, you feel like you need an other layer of hiding out, there’s always this place.

Presbyterian
I’d driven right by the interstate exit to Barstow a lot, but never thought about getting off the highway to see what the town might have to offer. Now, of course, I realized that all these years are just a series of missed opportunities to make photos of a place that’s disappearing.
But at least I got there while the Presbyterian church was still there…

Three Crosses
My geography is a lot of horizontal lines – plowed fields, center-pivot irrigation systems, pipe-rail fences, the horizon itself. And on a good photography day three crosses and the clouds add in some other shapes and keep it all interesting and in balance.
