the happy afternoon
I was in Tulsa the other week, and it was quite an eventful time. For one thing, my collaborative project with photographer VC Torneden opened at the TAC Gallery. Our project is a multi-year look at the forgotten places along Route 66. In case you didn’t make it to Tulsa, you can see those images here.
And some friends of mine came up to the show – some from Texas and one from New Mexico.
And – as if driving like a million hours to get from Santa Fe wasn’t already more than enough, that friend (a great photographer, R. David Marks) gave me a vintage lens.
And then! There’s more!! I used that vintage lens and made some photos on a warm and sunny afternoon. This couple were having a happy day – there was much laughter coming from their part of the park

Our intrepid leader spent a long time showing us how to make these kinds of shots. My success rate was…well, right at 0% (and I am rounding up). But this one is passable. Maybe.

a walking lunch
I don’t know what this gentleman was eating for lunch. But I am positive that it was delicious. I mean…this was in Sicily, where everything was delicious.

sometimes there are too many contrasts
There was a lot going on here.
It was the first night of my long-anticipated, often-delayed trip to Cuba. I was trying to settle in to what I was seeing and feeling. The contrasts (in both of those things) left me feeling unsettled, and it was a feeling that stayed with me the whole I time I was there.

dog/frame
Sometimes the line between a brilliant photographic capture and a thing that *almost* worked is thin. Other times the dog’s front feet are off the ground and that makes the photographer laugh (even though she’s not particularly a dog person most of the time) and decide to post it anyway.
