Well, those kids didn’t like the looks of me. Not one bit.
(Or their mom was calling them to her.) (Wait. Maybe SHE didn’t like the looks of me.)

don’t stay here
As appealing as this place seems when you drive by, and as much as you’re likely to start thinking about a vacation to Vega so you can stay here for a while, the fact is that the Vega Motel is closed.
Move along.

I know you’ve seen about a billion pictures of Cadillac Ranch (and if you haven’t just go ahead and Google ’em).
At this point, those old cars are mostly thick layers of spray paint instead of the namesake Cadillacs. And what the usual photos of the place don’t show you is the trash barrels that are perpetually full of empty spray-paint cans.
RELATED: if you position yourself downwind from the car-painters and their spray paint, it’s possible to get a contact high. I think.

freelens, 1
I was sort of at loose ends the other day. And I’d recently read a little bit about freelensing, so I decided to give it a try.
The thing is that just about forever I’ve been a document-it-the-way-it-really-looks kind of photographer. It’s the way I know to shoot, the way I’m comfortable working.
But this? This was a lot of fun. Mostly what I got were images that were definitely delete-able, but I enjoyed the effect of capturing a weird view of my living room.

I stopped to photograph an abandoned farmhouse and then became distracted by the bright white irrigation pipes stacked up behind the place. (The crop behind the pipes? It’s cotton and the bolls were already set on the plants and couple of them had opened, revealing cotton as white as the pipes.)
