Breakfast run, in the fog

Around here, a foggy morning is sort of a treat. I had my camera with me because I had plans to get some photos along the route to work. This one wasn’t in the original plan, and I saw it at the very last minute before the light changed and traffic started to move. In fact, there wasn’t even enough time to roll down the window, which explains some of the odd, ghosty things in the image. At least, I think that explains them…

It was indeed a dynasty

Sure. Why wouldn’t it be a dynasty?

Really, who wouldn’t want to purchase their fireworks from someplace that is this enthusiastic?

Seasonal Commerce

I like fireworks stands, probably because they’re closed almost all year. There’s something endearing about them, sort of hopeful, and patient while they wait for those few days each year when they can do some business.

TPS 26: The International Competition


Levelland, Texas
photographed 11.1.2014

Six. In a row. That’s how many juried photography shows I didn’t get accepted to. That’s six emails that I didn’t read past the depressing combination of “thank you for your interest” and “however.”

Today, I got one of the other kinds of emails, the ones I read all the way to the end! My photo “Some Illumination” was accepted into the Texas Photographic Society’s International Competition; Alison Nordstrӧm was the juror. The show will be at the J. Wayne Stark Galleries at Texas A&M University in College Station, Texas, from May 18 through July 16; the show will have subsequent stops at teh Center for Contemporary Arts in Abilene, Texas, and the Options Gallery at Odessa College, in Odessa, Texas. Stop by, if you can!
