tongue
The other evening, I went over to the industrial side of town and did some shooting with a new-to-me 135mm lens. I usually shoot a 28mm on this particular camera and you know what? There’s a BIG difference between the two lenses! Really, who could have even predicted that. Other than, like, you know, everyone?
Anyway, I found this parking lot that was full of what looked like FEMA trailers, all lined up and pointing toward the setting sun.

contestant 120
This image is the confluence of a few things:
- My friend’s daughter participated in a bodybuilding competition and so I tagged along, with a camera.
- I am trying to shoot more things that are outside of my normal range of subjects.
- I had that narrow depth of field assignment staring me in the face.
And this is what happened.

the morning yucca
I took some time the other Saturday morning to explore my own town; it paid off handsomely because not only did I discover an excellent coffee place, but there were some exuberant yucca flowers out in front.
And this reminds me that when I was a kid, I’d eat these flowers, which could surely explain some things.

cabinetry
This building is boarded up now, but back in the Olden Days of 2014, all I had to do to see this scene was to walk down the alley and look through the broken glass.
The real question here (and it’s one I cannot answer) is why I would have waited 405 weeks between when I made this photo and when I posted it.

the sign of the feather
That giant, padlocked chain won’t really keep anyone from getting inside, since the glass is all broken. But still, it does perhaps serve as a warning.
But mostly, that feather – all ragged casting its shadow on the door frame….
(Unrelated to the photo, but while I was here, a man pulled into the parking lot. I was pretty sure he was about to invite me to move on along, but what he was actually there to do was to feed the stray cats. After he left, I walked around the end of the building and there were nearly a dozen cats happily dining on food that he’d thoughtfully placed in several places.)
