It loomed over Lubbock
Check out this cloud! I was working through the weekend (on my real job, which sometimes get busy) and when it was time to take a break, of course I went on a bit of wander to see what I could see.
There was a big line of clouds building up east of town; I found a nice vantage point at the soccer fields, where I sat on a broken aluminum bleacher and watched the clouds build. And the thing is that just sitting and watching a scene unfold is new for me – usually I am more of the shoot-it-and-move-along sort of photographer. This slower approach doesn’t (yet) feel natural, but I’ll keep trying and see how it works out. (See, Brett Erickson: it looks like I am still learning from that class all the way back in July!)

Carnival, 1
Remember that thing I said yesterday, about how color would be shocking?
So, yeah. This.
It’s a big deal when the fair’s in town. I don’t mind going, as long as I can find some delicious roasted corn. And can make a few photos. This is what happens when I decide to shoot a little of series of shots of this bungee-cord ride.

All the blue
The back side of the morning’s rain clouds were the very same blue-grey color of the old truck. This was one of those rare times when I knew for certain that the resulting photo would be posted in color…

Chair skeleton
Look! A chair skeleton! It was an amazing sight.
Out back, behind this abandoned farmhouse, there was a dog skeleton. And further out, we caught a whiff of something that was on its way to becoming a skeleton (if you know what I mean). All of which makes this place sound a lot more macabre than it really was.
