WARNING: COLOR IMAGE TO FOLLOW!
Sorry. I hope the warning worked and you weren’t too shocked.
Here’s the thing: I took my camera with me to the garden center because I haven’t been taking many photos lately and I sort of couldn’t come up with a better place to shoot. We were going there anyway, see, and it would give me something to do while the Patient Spouse got the [insert garden-y thing here] that he was looking for.
I think you see my point: this would have been pointless in black and white.
Thank you for your indulgence while I strayed away. I’ll be back tomorrow, all black and white, like usual.

Just checking in
Every few years I remember to drive out by my favorite sign of all time. One of these days I will have waited too long to get one more photo, though, and that will be a sad discovery.

That guy is crazy
Are you confused by this little run of rodeo photos? Are you wondering if my blog has been hacked? What happened to all the derelict buildings I usually photograph?
I’m a little confused by it, too.
Here’s the thing: for the past 10 months, I’ve been working on a project documenting the end of our local auditorium/coliseum facility, which will be demolished before the end of the summer. The rodeo was the last-ever event in the coliseum, so of course I was there. The project, titled “Years of Dreaming,” will debut in August, at a show here in Lubbock. Watch the blog for more information on that.
Another thing that I am confused about is freestyle bullfighting, pictured here, where apparently a man tries to earn points by getting into the ring with a bull. “Crazy” hardly covers it. Maybe “batshit crazy” gets a little closer. Also, the term badass has been used to describe the sport.
Anyway, starting tomorrow, back to the usual stuff.

There usually is a lone wolf
In any given crowd, there’s probably going to be at least one lone wolf. It was nice of this gentleman to self-identify: it saved us all some time.

Her memories
Rodeos are new to me. Photographing people is also new to me.
But people using their phone to photograph everything thing in sight? I see that all the time!
