metal works
I was in New Orleans for work earlier this month. And of course I had a camera with me…
NOLA did not disappoint. It’s just full of interesting things to photograph, including this building on Annunciation Street.
(I lived in New Orleans for three years while I was in grad school. That was before I became a photographer, which is a real shame. And doubly so, since that master’s degree I just HAD to have isn’t even anything I ended up using.) (Oh, well.) (That’s the way things go.)

left alone too long
There are certain mundane things that I like to photograph – those self-service, drive-through car washes are on that list. I’m not sure why I always photograph them, especially since I almost never post those images.
So, as I wandered through Luther, Oklahoma, the other day, I spotted a car wash and pulled in to get some photos. And then, just on the very next lot, I saw these two old cars (which, ironically, were definitely unwashed) and the house in a state of abandonment.
And that’s how it ended up not being about the car wash at all.

except locks: he can’t help with locks
I don’t even want to admit how hard I laughed at this particular juxtaposition of signage. Apparently, he can’t help with locks?

the message was stolen by time
That trailer used to have a sign full of Very Important Information. I mean, I guess it was VII. At this point, there’s no way to know that for sure.

buy/get
I almost never understand the things I notice when I’m driving around. For example: why would there be a spot in North Miami, Oklahoma, with a bunch of well-used fireworks stands just plunked down in a random pattern?
Maybe it was to entertain a certain photographer who was passing through.
And if that was in fact the reason, this certain photographer offers her thanks for the opportunities it afforded.
