Well, those things sure add a lot, don’t they?

That’s why I felt like I was being watched
I was in Brownfield, Texas, on a Sunday morning, doing my thing – checking out stuff downtown. I found the vacant movie theater, and shot a photo through a broken window to get the interior. Then I turned around, and let my gaze track across the marquee that jutted over the sidewalk. Two-thirds of the way across it, I saw this cat, just chilling in the joists. I was a lot less chill when I spotted her, but after I got over the initial surprise, I laughed. Then I made a photo.
At least it wasn’t a crazed killer lurking up there…

…and never the twain
The fun thing about big event centers is that sometimes scheduled events may not always exactly align. A fancy fundraising event was scheduled just across a walkway from the tattoo expo, and I guess these drapes and fence were supposed to prevent any overlap.
But I think we all know that there was some degree of crossover between the two activities.

A wide range of options
Last August, I got a tattoo on my leg, to cover up the scar from knee-replacement surgery. I hated the scar, which made me feel really old since knee-replacement is sort of an old-person’s thing. I am aware that the tattoo is far more visible than the scar, and that my logic could be considered a bit flawed. But it makes me feel better about the whole situation.
And it gave me the cred I needed to head over to the local tattoo expo the other day.
I can’t explain my recent need to photograph people, though.
