Love + Peace (a seasonal message)

When I made this image, it was early enough in January that the Christmas messages of love and peace were still in the church window.

They’re probably gone by now.

The morning alibi

Philosophically, I think taking early-morning photos of a place that’s famous for what goes on at night is similar to my usual routine of going around back.

Anyway, how fortunate was this find – the sidewalk outside a place called The Alibi getting cleaned of…whatever happened the night before?

Fast Pancake

This was the 41st year of the Pancakes on the Plaza in Santa Fe; I am not sure how many pancakes were served that day, but “a whole lot” seems to be a modest estimate.

You know how I like to go around back to see what I can photograph? Turns out, a pancake breakfast offers some good “around back” opportunities. Like this speedy pancake cook and her assistant.

A room in what used to be a Carmelite monastary.

Lately I’ve been shooting a lot of unmade beds; I am not entirely sure what that means or where it’s going, but the Muse hasn’t lead me (very far) astray yet, so I’ll continue to follow her.

Howard

Howard’s place isn’t looking so great.

But what this image made me start thinking about is how, when that metal building across the street from Howard’s starts to fall down, it won’t look nearly as interesting as this.
