Juxtaposed
I didn’t realize what I had for those few years I lived in New Mexico; mostly the Patient Spouse and I were ready to move somewhere else – anywhere else! – from the minute we arrived. I was, clearly, an idiot for thinking the state had “nothing to offer” and “nothing to see” and “nothing to do.” Seriously, this was here all along.
Admittedly, that pile of old clothes there by the fence isn’t all that gorgeous but it does add a certain depth to the image, with the way it echos the shape of the cloud. And anyway, embrace those imperfections, right?

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.

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.

Blue Light Special
You’re going to have to trust me on this: those metal poles have tiny blue lights on top of them.
