The great thing about my real job is that I can do it from practically anywhere. And I’m set to get some work done at my little country place, should I ever need to. I mean, a couple of pencils and a highlighter are just about all you need, right?

Maybe you know that I’ve spent the better part of the last two years working on a documentary project; it covers the entire length of Route 66 and I made just shy of 7,000 black and white images.
Later this week, my collaborator – the Oklahoma photographer VC Torneden – and I will have an exhibit of a few of these images. It’s called The Other Side and will be at the Charles Adams Gallery in Lubbock through the end of the month. Stop by, if you get a chance.
And all of that was to say that I sort of got burned out on black and white images. I love black and white and have built my photographic career (such as it is) on being a strong monochrome shooter.
So, I’m pivoting to color, and that’s all you’ll see from me for the entirety of the month.
You’ve been warned.

Allsup’s. Or the Steak House Cafe. (A couple of options in town. Pick the Steak House Cafe. Trust me.)

I’m not even going to attempt to explain the Methodist church and the fissures that are now creating the Global Methodist Church from certain previously-affiliated United Methodist congregations. You can Google that on your time.
The not-very-neatly-applied duct tape on this sign sort of told me what I needed to know here.

I was at least 100% certain I’d never been in Hagerman before. I would have argued with anyone who tried to convince me otherwise. However, if the files on my computer are to be believed, I was there on May 10, 2014.
On that forgotten visit, I failed to photograph the Cinderella shoe left behind in a storefront display, but I got it this time around.
