gro-gas
Several years ago my friend Ron showed his credentials as a location scout by telling me about a tiny town called Bledsoe, which has a lovely, abandoned school. I’ve photographed the school several times but this was the first time I’d ever stopped to get photos at the Gro-Gas, which currently offers neither of those things.

high plains gold
My traveling companion – who’s Not From Here – suggested a u-turn to get this photo. I did not argue since he was right.
Because I *am* From Here, there’s a good possibility that I wouldn’t have really noticed the photographic possibilities the way he did. Which just goes to show…something? That I am largely unobservant? Or that new eyes see new things? Probably the first of those two things, if I am being honest.

richard, in the sky
Some people see bunnies or faces or dragons or castles when they look at the clouds.
I am not one of them. I mostly saw a formation that I named “Richard” – if you seen what I mean.

tables
Hello and welcome to All The Tables Day, the long-awaited moment when I assemble all the tables in a particular town and make a photograph.
I mean, it’s sort of not as comprehensive as it sounds, as this town only has the one building and it only has one room. But still.

Ps: If you stay for Most Of The Curtains Day, you’ll see this exact same image. FYI.
rocking/horse
Barrel race practice = photo opportunities = practice with panning = lots of failures = some technically weak photos that still are compelling. (This one reminds me of a kid’s rocking horse.)
