As you can see, Long’s Cemetery is also very wide.

PS – Did you think I could go a whole month (and a 31-day one!) without posting any black and white images? No, I didn’t either. Thank you for your patience. Guess what’s back tomorrow?

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!

As is it turns out, San Saba is the pecan capital of the world*, so it’s easy to find things with pecan-themed names.
And that’s how it happened that I sat in the Papershell** Bar and had an old fashioned made with pecan bitters.

I know you are aware that I have a thing for photographing things reflected in windows. I am charmed by the way the camera sees it differently than my eyes do. And I’m enchanted the way reflections layer themselves with the non-reflections, weaving all of it into something that seems *almost* real.

where is thy sting?
A grave marked by a barbed-wire cross somehow seems more raw, more tragic than if the marker had been a plain white one.
