to be Cuban
Among many other things, being Cuban means to be prepared to wait in line. We often saw lines like this, and never quite knew what the people were standing in line for. At one line, one of our guides reported that the people were waiting for chicken, but that wasn’t even helpful. Did he mean live chickens? Or whole chickens? Or leftover chicken from a restaurant? Or was it a mis-translation?
(That’s just one of the things I encountered in Cuba that I don’t really understand.)

freelens, 1
I was sort of at loose ends the other day. And I’d recently read a little bit about freelensing, so I decided to give it a try.
The thing is that just about forever I’ve been a document-it-the-way-it-really-looks kind of photographer. It’s the way I know to shoot, the way I’m comfortable working.
But this? This was a lot of fun. Mostly what I got were images that were definitely delete-able, but I enjoyed the effect of capturing a weird view of my living room.

super service
I mean – I can read the sign. I can understand the words.
But still, somehow, I remained unconvinced that any service provided at this location would rise to the level of “super.”

trios
There’s not a lot in Vaughn, New Mexico, but the stuff that’s there is the stuff I like to photograph. And finding this shot from 2019 reminds me that I need to get back over there.
Thanks, photo archive, for the reminder!

lunch rush
This place had a rack where the locals left their personal coffee cups for quick access to their morning caffeine. For some reason, that made me feel a little wistful, like somehow I was missing out by not having a regular coffee place.
It’s weird how things hit places you don’t even know exist…
