Cash Only

Plan ahead, if you want to go to Barstow, Texas, because not every place will take credit or debit cards. Also, I don’t think Venmo is an option at this particular location.

Mirrored

A mirror. I found a mirror in the corner of what’s left of this building. The ceiling was gone and so was the roof. None of the windows had any glass left in them. But the mirror was fine.

Sometimes it is hard to understand what I find.

Two Cokes

Those two bottles of Coke (the good kind, from Mexico, it looks like) are keeping each other company on the bottom shelf of the cooler.

But also: what happened to the carpet? It looks as if disaster has struck.

Pool, at the pool

I took an online photography class the other day and the instructor showed lots of amazing images where he’d shot low across puddles and other bodies of water to get really sharp and interesting reflections.

But if your puddle isn’t very big and if it’s also full of leaves and grass clippings and dirt and other junk, the reflection doesn’t end up being the star of the image.

Guess how I know that?

Church, often

I guess if you are the kind of person who wants to go to church sort of often, this would be a good fit for you.
