The Lubbock Series: 2 of 6

Along the path of a new freeway, a building begins to self-destruct. Later, the task was finished by heavy equipment, and now nothing is left but a vacant lot.

I shot this before I began my current photography-blogging career – which for those of you keeping score at home was on January 1, 2009 – but my eye was drawn, even then, to these poor old buildings. But don’t let me get away with being TOO self-congratulatory: I also shot this at the same place; I call it Gin and Cigs:
