“everything looks worse in black and white” – P. Simon

As you know, my first photographic love is monochrome, so I can’t completely get on board with Paul Simon’s statement about everything looking worse in black and white.

Although…this scene really does look better in color.

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

non-united

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.

cinderella

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.
