uneven usage

It makes me happy to know that more people scrape their bumpers up against that one marked space on the right than they do the other one.

like a swim-up bar, only with quesadillas

Those kids from yesterday’s photo moved on to having poolside quesadillas. Later, a soggy half-eaten quesadilla was plucked off the pool deck and thrown away. No one ever even missed it. As far as we know.

fancy lighting

That’s a fancy light fixture they’ve got inside there. I wonder why.

gauzy

Maybe you already figured this out. (I bet you did. It’s really sort of obvious.) I enjoy photographing reflections in windows. And if the windows in question are in a small-town downtown, then I like it even more.

The thing about this is that not that many days ago (3 as of when I wrote this post) I stood RIGHT THERE and composed the photo, yet today I can’t tell you what side of the square I was on, what building had these gauzy curtains, or even what’s real and what’s reflected. The whole thing has my brain a little bit discombobulated.

But honestly, it’s that feeling of not knowing exactly what’s going on that attracts me to making these kinds of images.

I went to Slaton to get cookies at the 100-year-old Slaton Bakery. (You cannot find better thumbprint cookies anywhere on the planet.) And, while I was there I took a few photos.

Or I went to Slaton to take photos. And while I was there I treated myself to some cookies at the bakery.

Either way, it worked out nicely.
