The last iteration of this building was Charley’s. Before that, it was a Long John Silver’s restaurant, and I think that’s what has been painted over on the drive-through canopy.

Of course this place had a drive-through window: that’s sort of a given.

You all know what I did here – I looked through a grimy window of an out-of-business restaurant to see what was inside.

TPS 26: The International Competition


Levelland, Texas
photographed 11.1.2014

Six. In a row. That’s how many juried photography shows I didn’t get accepted to. That’s six emails that I didn’t read past the depressing combination of “thank you for your interest” and “however.”

Today, I got one of the other kinds of emails, the ones I read all the way to the end! My photo “Some Illumination” was accepted into the Texas Photographic Society’s International Competition; Alison Nordstrӧm was the juror. The show will be at the J. Wayne Stark Galleries at Texas A&M University in College Station, Texas, from May 18 through July 16; the show will have subsequent stops at teh Center for Contemporary Arts in Abilene, Texas, and the Options Gallery at Odessa College, in Odessa, Texas. Stop by, if you can!

Ethanol, fourth

Without any frame of reference, these dunes of millet could be dunes of anything. And located anywhere. It was oddly disorienting, because I was literally a few steps from the road.

But I liked the feeling.

(This is last of the ethanol plant photos. For now…)
