the murder hand

Out-of business businesses are of particular interest to me, especially if they are – or used to be – laundromats or carwashes. This probably reveals some weird psychology or something, but on the other hand, you’ve probably noticed my weirdness already.

Anyway, there’s a story here somewhere. Let me see if I can relocate it.

Ah, yes – THERE it is. I believed this photo to be about the four hooks on the wall and the way the light was so much stronger on the left side of the photo. I also deeply appreciated that tiny bit of turquoise up in the corner.

And then, later, after I was looking at the images on the back of my camera I saw that handprint. That damn thing – it’s scary and I can’t image how I missed seeing it when I was right there in front of it. My observational skills are not as good as I think they are. Or, maybe, the handprint is only visible to cameras.

red is a dangerous color

Danger abounds: a red car, red lettering on a sign, red pain on the porch, red warnings on the steps, (faded) red curtains, and that red suit. Oh, that suit…

greenwood (unfocused)

 

Sometimes it just feels good to un-focus a shot. This was one of those times.

i believe dolls are inherently creepy

This is not the first time I’ve posted a photo of a doll (or dolls) in a window. And it’s also not the first time that I have wondered if the term “creepy doll” is redundant.

It’s just the most recent time it’s occurred to me.

does fashion need to be painful?

 

I sort of see the attraction to a jacket with spikes in the sleeves – it might help discourage people in the grocery store checkout line from standing too close. But since COVID and all, that’s not nearly the problem that I seem to remember.

Otherwise, I’m not sure I get it. Figuratively. Or, you know, literally.
