At first light

We had to make a sad trip earlier this month, to Nebraska for my father-in-law’s funeral. (He got COVID and then it got him.) We spent the night in Kansas on the way up, and even though the trip was sad, the morning light was glorious.

Weed

I was just messing around the other morning, shooting some razor wire and vapors and tumbleweeds, when I saw these little weeds, illuminated by the thin winter sunlight.

Distant Light

When I was shooting the auditorium and coliseum, the boiler room was just about my favorite place in the entire facility. It was dark and mysterious. It smelled weird. It made unusual clangy noises. It was full of oddities.

So of course it was my favorite place.

Upon Row

I think I thought this photo was about all those seats, rows and rows of them. But now that I look again, I seem to have changed my mind: it’s really about the shadow cast by the stairs.

Detritus

In addition to liking to find stacks of chairs, I also like to nose around the backs of places: I’m interested in seeing what sorts of random things are kept and try to imagine why they are there. This was a particularly interesting set of crap.
