Arch and a half

Many things start with good intentions. But those intentions can only get you so far, sometimes, before the arch starts to fall.

Detour (religion)

If you’d like, you may insert your own metaphor right here.

Almost Open

If the way to tell if a place is open for business is by how much of the “open” sign you can see, then this place is nearly open.

Other – perhaps more reliable – clues indicate otherwise.

Two Stories

 

I was around behind an out-of-business place, because of course I was. Otherwise, how would I have ever spotted this magical scene of a pickup cab sitting atop its own bed?

Laundry Day

In 2015, I spent a glorious two weeks in Nova Scotia, making photos. I made a LOT of them. Everywhere we went, we saw laundry hanging out to dry. I wanted a photo of someone’s laundry and I tried and tried but left for home without The Laundry Photo that I wanted.

So, time passed…the way it does.

And last month I was someplace less maritime than Nova Scotia – San Jon, New Mexico, to be precise – but that still provided me many opportunities to make the kind of photos I love to make.

And, also, finally: I got a picture of some laundry hanging out to dry.
