freelens, 1

I was sort of at loose ends the other day. And I’d recently read a little bit about freelensing, so I decided to give it a try.

The thing is that just about forever I’ve been a document-it-the-way-it-really-looks kind of photographer. It’s the way I know to shoot, the way I’m comfortable working.

But this? This was a lot of fun. Mostly what I got were images that were definitely delete-able, but I enjoyed the effect of capturing a weird view of my living room.

sky/light

In one way, this is photo of a sky light.

In another way, it’s a photo of a now-useless light fixture presiding over an abandoned parking lot at an out-of-business business.

trios

There’s not a lot in Vaughn, New Mexico, but the stuff that’s there is the stuff I like to photograph. And finding this shot from 2019 reminds me that I need to get back over there.

Thanks, photo archive, for the reminder!

the capture

I know. I know that taking a picture of some wind-blown trash that’s gotten tangled up in a barbed wire fence is like the tiredest photo cliche there even is.

However. I did go ahead and make one more to add to the huge body of similar images.

lunch rush

This place had a rack where the locals left their personal coffee cups for quick access to their morning caffeine. For some reason, that made me feel a little wistful, like somehow I was missing out by not having a regular coffee place.

It’s weird how things hit places you don’t even know exist…
