Abandoned, 1941
One of my co-workers tipped me off about this place. (You can read that story here.)
According to the Texas Historical Society, this school was closed in 1941, when the district merged with one in a bigger town. Obviously the place was well-constructed, since it’s lasted three quarters of a century without use or upkeep. From the looks of it, though, I’d guess it won’t be long now before it’s just a pile of brick.

Someone Waits
I don’t have the slightest recollection of a person standing outside the window when I made this image, and am not sure I believe there was, despite strong photographic evidence to the contrary.

Attempts at a coverup
Actually, I believe there were at least two attempts:
* that stucco around the top of the window has had something done to it
and
* obviously those signs in the window are hiding something.
And, of course, those curtains are pretty suspicious, now that I think about it.

The loudest silence
This place left me feeling unsettled.
Maybe it was the way the trees were closing in on that old church. Or maybe it was the way I felt them closing in on me.
It might have been the plywood where the stained glass had been, like a blind eye somehow watching me.
Or it might have been truly a sinister place.

This?
This? Oh, it’s just a little something I found on a wall in Victoria last summer. And that’s absolutely all I’ve got to say, which I realize may come as a shock to some of you.
No, wait – there’s one more thing. I hadn’t really thought about baggy pantyhose in quite a long time. Until now.
