the family that drinks together
This seems like a real family-oriented business.

eye level
Sometimes the shot needs to be low, really low. This is an example. (It might be a BAD example, but it is an example nevertheless.)

If you ever find yourself in Wilson, Texas, and you’re having car trouble, I don’t think that John’s Garage is going to be able to provide you any assistance.
My advice: find another town and have car trouble there.

like ghosts, they’re gone
The last time I’d been here, the door was still attached to the building.
But now! Now, it’s on the ground with the glass intact, which gave me a nice reflection of the building.
(Just one more reason to revisit the same location.)

zion shoulders the storm
I guess a lot of photographers have That Place – the one they go to when they’re stuck, when it’s hard to get going, when they’re bored.
This place is That Place for me, a run down little church about a half-hour’s drive from my house. The first time I posted an image of this place was in March 2012.
And a quick visit back to that post was surprisingly emotional: 2012 was the year that my dear friend Laurie gave herself the challenge of posting a comment, in the form of a haiku, every day. And there was her haiku, in the comments of this old post. At some point I promoted her haiku and my photos to their own blog, and kept it going with my own verse from 2013 until now. Laurie passed away two years ago. I still miss her and am grateful for the impact she had on my life: I would not be a photographer without her guidance. I would not be a poet without her encouragement.
