18 and 7 are down for the count

I have a thing for photographing laundromats. I have no idea why – it’s just a subject that frequently captures my eye.

Combine that with my well-know affinity for photographing abandoned places and it’ll get you this image from an out-of-business place I spotted in Louisiana a few years ago.

kicked the habit

Sometimes you just need to shed the old things that aren’t working for you any more, and move on with a fresh outlook to match your fresh new skin.

I am led to believe that “normal” people would just drive right by this place and not even stop.

I’m glad I do not qualify as “normal.”

(But to be fair, normal people make a three hour trip in, you know, three hours. If you know what I mean.)

a spiral of ivy

It was hot that day. And for days and days before. And for days and days after. But that ivy was tenacious and continued to spiral its way up the metal grates.

I am not tenacious. So I got back in the car, cranked down the AC, and continued on my way.

donut city

That early Sunday morning, all the other patrons at Donut City were getting their breakfast to go, which meant that I had the dining room to myself.

And that meant that I had a nice start to the day photographing the place, including the reflection in the display case and also this colorful scene.
