It was cloudy for the whole day (which was actually a nice change from the torrential rain we’d driven in for more than half of the trip*) and it reminded me of how soft photographs feel when you aren’t dealing with harsh sunlight.

There were a few leftover puddles on the polished stone planter so I caught some reflections.

*We were three blocks from home, on the way to catch a 6:00 pm flight to Tulsa, when we got a message that our flight was cancelled. So we drove instead. It was a challenging drive with the rain plus road construction in Oklahoma** but we made it.

**How can Oklahoma have (1) tollways, (2) constant road construction, and (3) shitty roads ALL AT THE SAME TIME?

The thing is that sometimes I can almost talk myself into thinking I can shoot from the passenger side of the car.

And the other thing is that is almost never the best solution*. For example, there’s no way to see this particular angle of the Dust Bowl unless you’re standing on the sidewalk.

*One exception: the meth-y parts of Albuquerque are not at all pedestrian-friendly.

Sometimes it just feels good to un-focus a shot. This was one of those times.

i believe dolls are inherently creepy

This is not the first time I’ve posted a photo of a doll (or dolls) in a window. And it’s also not the first time that I have wondered if the term “creepy doll” is redundant.

It’s just the most recent time it’s occurred to me.

does fashion need to be painful?

 

I sort of see the attraction to a jacket with spikes in the sleeves – it might help discourage people in the grocery store checkout line from standing too close. But since COVID and all, that’s not nearly the problem that I seem to remember.

Otherwise, I’m not sure I get it. Figuratively. Or, you know, literally.
