The East-West Divide
Graffiti artists have marked the east-west divide on a wall that runs north and south. That seems confusing.
(Recognize that trash container? Yes, you do.)

Miguel & Angelica
I just added a new rule to my other one – always look around back. The new rule is take the other route into town.
I’ve been to Plainview a lot of times. And I always go into town the very same way. The other day, I took a different exit (there aren’t that many to choose from) off the highway, which put me within eyesight of what used to be a big grocery store. It looked nicely abandoned, so of course I had to check it out.
And (around back, of course!) I noticed that Miguel and Angelica had proclaimed their love on a trash container. As one does.

A Musical Variety
This place just has it all. If by “all,” you mean a couple of kinds of music and a lot of very tight dresses.

Just a touch of red
This is as Christmas-y as we get here at One Day | One Image: a little bit of red in an otherwise black and white scene. I’m pretty sentimental, as you can tell.

Booth. Table. Chairs.
I had a meeting in Plainview, Texas, the other morning and I took advantage of being there to take a few photos before I left. Plainview’s only about 45 miles from Lubbock, but for some reason I never think to drive up there and look around.
I’d been missing a lot.
For one thing, there was this place.
And then I saw this scene. That upside-down chair is what caught my eye. But aside from that, there is sort of a lot going on here. There’s a pumpkin, a small trampoline, a stack of tires, a bell, some damaged pegboard. And that plywood: I am thinking of switching my loyalties from corrugated metal to painted-and-faded plywood. I love the way the faded paint shows the grain of the wood.
