Hope, lost
I always think I’m through photographing these roadside memorials. But then I see one like this and I know I’m not really done.

Rollers
Sometimes a photo is just a bunch of pleasing shapes that happened to coexist at the time a photographer happened by. That’s what happened here.

Book Burning 1: Ansel Adams
There was a fire in downtown Lubbock last month; some apartments, a barbershop, and a used book store were destroyed. Naturally, my camera and I went out to look around; by the day I explored, the salvageable things (metal joists, mostly) had been pulled out to one side and everything else was pushed into a pile. And, shining like a beacon from the pile was Ansel Adams’s autobiography.

Sears was nearly gone for good and not much merchandise was left over. But, somehow, even at 80% off these shoes hadn’t sold. A retail mystery, I suppose.

Texas Rising
This piece, from Texas Tech University’s acclaimed public art program is called “Texas Rising,” created by artists Blessing Hancock and Joe O’Connell. The stars are lit from the inside, which looks lovely at night. But they also look nice in the daytime when the snow’s coming down.
