rain chain + sunset

Maybe you know that I’ve spent the better part of the last two years working on a documentary project; it covers the entire length of Route 66 and I made just shy of 7,000 black and white images.

Later this week, my collaborator – the Oklahoma photographer VC Torneden – and I will have an exhibit of a few of these images. It’s called The Other Side and will be at the Charles Adams Gallery in Lubbock through the end of the month. Stop by, if you get a chance.

And all of that was to say that I sort of got burned out on black and white images. I love black and white and have built my photographic career (such as it is) on being a strong monochrome shooter.

So, I’m pivoting to color, and that’s all you’ll see from me for the entirety of the month.

You’ve been warned.

pool (4th floor view)

So, what happened was that the crew installing the conduit for the new fiber lines installed that conduit RIGHT THROUGH THE MIDDLE of our sewer line. And that made our sewer, uh, not drain. And THAT led us to a lovely little staycation at a local hotel that did have operable sewers.

And that, naturally, led me to make this photo of the swimming pool from the 4th floor elevator lobby.

Because I did take my camera with me on our little trip.

piñata (fireball and advil)

There was a piñata for the little kids, a piñata for the teenagers, and a piñata for the grownups. Ours had Fireball, Tito’s Vodka, and Advil.

Little girls at a backyard party…they were very busy having all the fun.

ornamental grass, at sunset

I think the cats who live in the backyard were probably laughing at my photography yoga stance as I tried to capture this ornamental grass against the light of the dying day.
