That


Yeah, I guess we’ve pretty much all felt this way, haven’t we? But (so far), I’ve refrained from painting my feelings on a wall…

Tessellation (missing)

Some of the buildings that used to house the motel are down to the slab now, but the floor tile in the bathrooms is still in place.

This is the floor from two different bathrooms, with a gap where the wall used to be. But it reminded me of M. C. Esher’s drawing of geese transforming themselves into fish, so in my mind*, that gap was the space where hexagons transformed into rectangles.

*Yes, it’s weird in there.

Let’s finish out the year with a photographic trip to the Cliffhouse Project, right here in Lubbock. It’s an abandoned restaurant and motor lodge. It’s also the site of a very cool development project that will reuse the buildings that are already there, provide an organic urban garden and opportunities to create art, and is already hosting various pop-up art events. (Like this one.)

My friend, and fellow photographer, Liz McCue was in town the other weekend and we took a trip over the to Cliffhouse; I’d say between us, we probably made a few hundred images – and I’m sure we didn’t even find the coolest stuff yet.

Crooked Letter

That S has been lying down on the job for years, but at this point, I’d be disappointed if it got fixed…

And promises of rain


Way over there, to the southeast, are some clouds that look like they might bring some rain. They don’t, of course.
