Private seating area

102214

This roadside cafe features a private seating area, which is pretty classy. Except that there’s not a table. Or food, either, unless you bring your own: the place is out of business.

But, still. It is private seating, no?

Over at Shorty’s place

Check out those window’s at Shorty’s! It’s plywood! Let’s just go ahead and add this to the plywood collection that already includes Anton, Snyder, Plainview, and Snyder again.

And if you want to know more about plywood, or nearly any other building material, I’d recommend that you read The Walls Around Us, by David Owen. It’s really not as boring as it sounds. (You can learn about plywood on pages 59-64, a page count which may weaken my not-as-boring-as-it-sounds argument.)

A glut.
An excess.
A surfeit.
A profusion.
An overabundance.
A surplus.

Four windows

102613

They started out the same, these four windows.  The same size, and age, and all that.   But look at them now, all weathering in a different way.  I’ve mentioned before that I am not a fan of symmetry: it was asymmetry of this that caught my eye.  I like it, and I like the way it seems to defy the original, symmetrical window installation.

High and Dry show at Texas Tech University

033113

I am honored announce that this photo has been selected in the annual High and Dry show at Texas Tech University.

This year’s juror was David Michael Kennedy. Go have a look at his website – every single image is wonderful.

The show’s opening reception will be on Friday evening, December 6, at the International Cultural Center. Stop by, if you’re in the neighborhood. And if you’re not in the neighborhood, there’s plenty of time to plan a trip….
