a portal in portales
I had to run a little errand over to New Mexico the other day, so naturally I took my camera with me. And look what I found! Yet another photograph-worthy window reflection. (It’s sort of like an obsession, really.) An observant pedestrian stopped while I made the image, but she looked extremely confused about what was going on, which is not all that shocking, if I’m being honest. Normal people probably really don’t stand a few feet from a building and take a photo of it when there’s a whole world going on just across the street!

thinly painted
Yes. Yes, I did take my camera into the restroom. How else could I have been able to show you the thin layer of yellow paint on that old mirror frame?

evidence of destruction
I realize that a fire isn’t something to be happy about.
But what did make me happy was the way the shape of the fire shows on the wall and the way the flames left a heat map behind. (I am also exceedingly fond of that random concrete block on the top of the building.)

do not vote
I am not a signage expert, but it seems like if you’ve got a message that’s important enough to stick on a sign, you’d want the whole message to be visible. This sign went on for a few more lines, but they were obscured by the wall of the adjacent building.
But anyway, at least you can get a sense of a few of the people someone doesn’t want you voting for.

My eyes are adjusting themselves to seeing color in potential photographs. Especially yellow. My eyes like yellow.
