Sleep’s dark cousin
My mom wasn’t a good sleeper. I’m not either, so that’s a nice little family legacy that we’ve got going. But it did help me relate to the sentiments on the wall (not the one to smoke week – the other one about death and sleep). So there’s that.

The boots left behind
That’s nice – someone thought to take off their boots before they went inside.

Tessellation (missing)
Some of the buildings that used to house the motel are down to the slab now, but the floor tile in the bathrooms is still in place.
This is the floor from two different bathrooms, with a gap where the wall used to be. But it reminded me of M. C. Esher’s drawing of geese transforming themselves into fish, so in my mind*, that gap was the space where hexagons transformed into rectangles.

*Yes, it’s weird in there.

Let’s finish out the year with a photographic trip to the Cliffhouse Project, right here in Lubbock. It’s an abandoned restaurant and motor lodge. It’s also the site of a very cool development project that will reuse the buildings that are already there, provide an organic urban garden and opportunities to create art, and is already hosting various pop-up art events. (Like this one.)
My friend, and fellow photographer, Liz McCue was in town the other weekend and we took a trip over the to Cliffhouse; I’d say between us, we probably made a few hundred images – and I’m sure we didn’t even find the coolest stuff yet.
