it seemed fitting to be at a cemetery at sunset

Any time I’m close to the City of Lubbock Cemetery, I’ll stop by and check out what’s there. It might seem like a morbid habit. I mean, it might BE a morbid habit.

But still: that evening last month had a lovely cemetery-view of the sunset.

mail delivery

Oh, look! I found a (crooked) mailbox on a chainlink fence!

freelens, 1

I was sort of at loose ends the other day. And I’d recently read a little bit about freelensing, so I decided to give it a try.

The thing is that just about forever I’ve been a document-it-the-way-it-really-looks kind of photographer. It’s the way I know to shoot, the way I’m comfortable working.

But this? This was a lot of fun. Mostly what I got were images that were definitely delete-able, but I enjoyed the effect of capturing a weird view of my living room.

sun/shade

This guy? He was the smartest person on the whole First Friday Art Trail. It was hot – really hot, like 103° – and he had the foresight to bring his own shade structure with him.

Kudos, Umbrella Guy!

Also, check out the dude in the hoodie. I hope he was warm enough.

those eyes

This is the fabulous Miss Hannah Harvey, who rarely misses an opportunity to pose for a camera.

She’s smart and hilarious and a smart-ass and kind and loves big. And also: look at those blue eyes.*
