the pensive man

You may remember an earlier photograph of a street-side mechanic? This is the man whose hands you saw in that other image. In case you wondered.

We were in his vicinity for several hours and that motorcycle never seemed to become operational while we were there; his face tells the same story.

heading home

This family had completed their shopping at the courthouse square farmers’ market and were heading home. Eventually. It took a minute to get organized; that one kid on the right sort of had some other plans in mind.

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.
