Coffee shop: napkin

In 1992, the town of Plainview stood in for fictitious Rustwater, Kansas, in the Steve Martin movie Leap of Faith; the scenes inside a diner were actually filmed in what is now called Broadway Brews.

Yesterday, I took myself on a little road trip and found myself in Plainview in the very same diner.

Fun facts:
1. The water tower still says Rustwater, Kansas.
2. And the brick wall on the alley side of Broadway Brews has a mural that references the movie.

Balance seemed iffy

Is it me, or does that building look like it’s about to fall over to the left?

Or does that joist sticking out look like a crowbar, left for a giant who is going to use it to pry the place apart?

Either way, I don’t think the long term outlook is particularly favorable.

Sundogs barkin’

Hello, and welcome to Random Music Friday, where we here at One Day | One Image introduce you to, well, random music. Today’s song is “Julia”, by the Flatlanders, one of many exceptional bands with deep musical roots in Lubbock.

Anyway, give the song a listen; it’ll make the title of this post make sense. Maybe.

Available Light

Afternoon sun, on dead flowers, a leafless trees, and a window missing glass and screen.

no one thought it would end this way

If you add together all the times I’ve done a shoot with models, it would total one. One time. And only because I had to as part of a photography class I took.

But this happened, and I will put it in the “even a blind squirrel finds a nut” category because – and I cannot emphasize this too much – I did not know what the hell I was doing.
