Joyland Amusement Park tells you it’s “where the fun is.” I mention it only because I thought some of you might have wondered where, exactly, the fun was and now you know. The only thing is that the place is closed down for the winter. Does that mean there’s no fun anywhere until March 2013, when it reopens?

For a place where nothing was going on, this shot is remarkably busy…

Ah…downtown Lubbock. Where nothing ever gets noticeably better, but realtors seem to remain optimistic they can lease executive suites in this place, with its torn awning, crooked blinds, and broken windows.

(Let me brag for just a minute)
I very proud to let everyone know that one of my images was accepted into a juried show at Texas Tech University; the show is called High and Dry: A Photographic Exhibition of Peoples and Places of the World’s Dry Lands. And there’s more: the photo was selected as an honorable mention!
The photo, “How Many Fond Memories,” was featured on the blog in February. The title comes from a haiku, written by my good friend (and collaborator at
The Poetry of Photography) Laurie Jameson. I am sure her lovely words helped sway the juror!
Kudos, too, to my friend Brett Erickson, over at Plainsky Nebraskans. He’s also got an image in the show, and it’s an honorable mention as well.
The show opens on November 23, so if you’re in Lubbock, stop by!

Some call it progress*: the Central Baptist Church is torn down to make way for a new high school cafeteria.
