I just can’t help myself: no matter how many abandoned businesses I spot in my travels, I still have to photograph them. I guess when I see a new one and DON’T want to get an photo of it, I’ll know the photography gig is over…

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!

*My little granddaughter, Bennett, used to say “I can’t know.” when she really meant she didn’t know. It was a sad day when she moved on from that, but I’ve decided to carry the “I can’t know” torch for her.
The graffiti houses of Portales: Faith
Sometimes, I just don’t think anything I can say would add to the photo.
