red light district
Of course my eye was drawn to the only bit of color in the scene…even though what I’d gone over there to photograph was the remains of a building on the right side of the image. Now I can understand that the building-husk was just the bait to lure me in.

all in all it’s just another brick
I know: it’s vandalism. And I’m supposed to not be in favor of it.
But damn…those colors…those lines…that shading.

as wine, the strongest heads
There are two hats hanging on a hook in the garage. To be honest, I am afraid of wearing either one of them: I think there are spiders or maybe these weird almost-clear geckos in them. And who even knows what else might be in there that I would prefer not to have on my head.
But I didn’t encounter anything dangerous when I made this photo.

one stitch holds it all
I have four or five vintage quilts; I don’t know the provenance of any of them, other than to say they are soft and old and lovely.
I like to think that this one stitch is the one holding the entire quilt together.

fireworks, stars, and trash
This was fun – we found a place out on the very edge of town where people congregated to shoot fireworks and we spent at least an hour out there watching all the fun. I took 805 photos, deleted all but 52 of them because they were (a) just dark empty sky; (b) blurry only not in a good way; or (c) stupid. And of those 52, I edited TWO of them.
So congratulations to this photo for beating some pretty tough odds. This one made the cut because it had a lot going on that told the story – lots of fireworks all at once, tail lights streaking by, headlights cutting through the smoke, fireworks trash in the parking lot, and a light sprinkling of stars.
