Clear Intentions

I definitely got the idea that I needed to go no further onto this property to get the photo. But just in case I didn’t, there was a guy in a truck, off to the right, keeping a close eye on what I was up to. And, I am sure, he was prepared to remind me if I strayed too close.

That parking lot was LIT!

I drove by here the other day and this sign caught my attention – it caught it to the degree that I went home and got my camera and came right back.

I know what you’re thinking: a Real Photographer wouldn’t have left without a camera in the first damn place. And you’re right.

Graveyard, sort of

From my angle, these pieces of concrete looked like some kind of weird headstones…

Book Burning 2: Crisis Forecasting

This photograph is the absolute truth: a book open to a chapter titled Crisis Forecasting was right there at the scene of the fire.

Sometimes I think finding things like this is the very reason I became a photographer.

Book Burning 1: Ansel Adams

There was a fire in downtown Lubbock last month; some apartments, a barbershop, and a used book store were destroyed. Naturally, my camera and I went out to look around; by the day I explored, the salvageable things (metal joists, mostly) had been pulled out to one side and everything else was pushed into a pile. And, shining like a beacon from the pile was Ansel Adams’s autobiography.
