Pods + Church
Most of the time when I spot things out in the country, I don’t quite seem to even understand what’s happening. This – with the storage pod and the decrepit church – is just the most recent example of my confusion.
I did understand, though, that the sky was just as important as the other things in the frame, if that matters at all.

Uplight
Here’s a detail from the now-defunct drive-in movie theater. Many times the details of the thing are more interesting than the thing itself.

in the crashing chaos
“Good God, woman, GET INSIDE.” -what my friend Don told me he thought to himself when I sent him this photo.
This end-of-the-world-looking cloud was right above my house and the rotation (a sign that maybe there’s a tornado) was clearly apparent. I’ve lived in tornado-prone areas for almost my whole life and this…this was scary.
There wasn’t a tornado, though, and my neighborhood didn’t even get too much rain. And also, I did go inside after I made this photo.
The title is from – you may know what I am going to say here – a Bruce Cockburn song, “Boundless.”

Building Permit and the Madonna
That’s a building permit taped into the window next to the madonna. The permit’s from a least a decade ago – it’s almost too faded to read but I was able to make out a few things: new roof, new ceiling, new floor, new plumbing were all listed. I am reasonably sure that none of those things have been done. I am less sure that there even still is a roof, actually.

Hope, lost
I always think I’m through photographing these roadside memorials. But then I see one like this and I know I’m not really done.
