Why there’s no photograph of anything famous
If you go to Marfa, you’ll see the influence of sculptor Donald Judd’s Chinati Foundation. And if you visit the Foundation, you’ll have to agree, in writing, to not publish any photographs that you take of the various art installations. So, instead of seeing my shots of the famous 100 untitled works in milled aluminum, you get this: ruins of something that’s across the street from the Foundation’s headquarters.
(I don’t think I agreed to not publish any shots of the ruins.)
(And, anyway, I like this better than the milled aluminum boxes. Even though my photographs of them were quite fabulous.)

Fenced in. Or out.
I like this fence. I like it lot.
My favorite part is that it’s not regular chain link. It’s a series of Ms, or Vs, or Ws – depending on where you start. I’m no fence historian, but I think that means this is old.
My other favorite part is that it’s not that effective – standing wide open and all – but that it takes it job seriously enough to keep doing it.

There are a lot of questions here.
In contrast to yesterday’s post, at least this signage is legible. But that doesn’t necessarily make it understandable.
Am I right?

I have no idea
There is a lot of information on the front of this place. Unfortunately, I have no idea what any of it says.
All I can say with any certainity is that it is roughly halfway between here and here but all the way across town from here.
