Watchful Eyes

If you’ve spent more than five minutes looking at my photographs, you already know I almost never photograph people. But sometimes, I can tell that it’s time to break my own rule. Like this one right here, with those two official-looking people watching that trio hurrying toward one of the last rodeos that would ever happen in this particular building.

Upon Row

I think I thought this photo was about all those seats, rows and rows of them. But now that I look again, I seem to have changed my mind: it’s really about the shadow cast by the stairs.

Waiting/Room

In my explorations of the soon-to-be-demolished auditorium and coliseum, I saw these chairs queued up behind the auditorium. They were tagged and awaiting an auction to determine their new location.

Inside/Outside

Do you think the cacti are jealous of each other, with the inside one wanting to experience the ice, and the outside one wishing for the relative warmth of the greenhouse?

The day winter arrived

This is usually how our weather works – it’ll be the end of October and still hot. Like need-an-air-conditioner hot. And then the weather forecast says in four or five days we’ll have six or seven inches of snow. Six or seven INCHES!! It is very exciting. But as the days between now and the forecasted snow dwindle, so does the anticipated snow accumulation. And then, at last, the snow day arrives. Only there’s ice instead of snow.

And then, two or three days later, it’s once again so warm that it’s hard to believe the ice storm really happened.
