I am trying to make myself take photos of people. It is not anything that comes naturally to me, but I am committed to becoming a better photographer, to expanding my boundaries, and all that stuff.
This kid made it really easy – he saw my camera and asked me if I’d like to take a picture of his microgreens. I made a counter offer: that I make a photo of the microgreens (he was very proud of them) with him in it.
And this is what that looked like.

This place used to be a very nice fabric store. It’s the same store where my mom and I found the fabric for my wedding dress, which she sewed from a Vogue pattern (because I was fancy like that and because she was an excellent seamstress). I love it that time has folded over on itself: now it’s a wedding dress store.

Beer!!
That bowlegged gentleman painted on the side of the building promises “BEER!” but do not believe him. Just keep going – you’ll find a beer store soon enough.

I will always check to see if the church door is unlocked; I always hope that it will be. And when it is, I consider it an invitation to come on in and look around.

that may have been the last rainy summer (2015 )
I have tried for several years to get THE picture of this rain-fed wading pool in this desert park. It hardly rains any more, it seems, so this pool has been dry for years. And a dry wading pool wasn’t what I was after.
But there was that wet summer of 2015…and this photo waiting patiently (I assume) for me to notice that maybe the photo I was after has been there all along.
