terrestrial reception

I like Mason. It’s a comfortable town, an easy drive from Lubbock. The town square is interesting, especially at night when light retreats into the corners and a plywood-covered window becomes profound.

light my way so i get this right

Maybe my quick trip out of town the other day seemed silly, or selfish, or just plain confusing. I’m not saying it wasn’t any of those things, but on the other hand, it sort of feels like I went all that way to see this pink-haired mannequin in a store window…and it was worth the drive.

links and bonding

This hand holds a lot of stories. I don’t know what they are, but I am confident of my assessment.

(I am also confident of using a long-ish lens to isolate a stranger’s hand, if that is what the situation calls for.)

“delicous”

No, indeed there IS nothing like eating a delicious ear of corn. And maybe I’m just letting my inner copy editor have too much control, but I can’t help but point out that the sign maker did not spell delicious the conventional way. Maybe spelling’s just a silly construct?

one way

It’s the end of the month, so I figure it’s time to move on from nighttime photos of Portland. I don’t know what I’ll post next. Maybe Portland in the daytime? Or Portland in the fog? Or Portland with daytime fog?

There are so very many possibilities.
