308: What Happened to Thanksgiving

I am putting forth some effort to resurrect my blog.  So today I visualized 3 possible images and wouldn't you know it.  There was no way to make them work.  So after dark I headed to Downtown Monroe, where there are always good windows to shoot.  Not tonight!!!  It is not even Thanksgiving yet and all I saw was Christmas decorations  @#$#@%(&.  Call me old fashion, backwards, primitive, what ever; but Christmas season DOES NOT start until the day AFTER Thanksgiving.

It took a while but I finally found one window pane not out of season.  And this area made me think of my granddaughter Joy Anna who got married recently and the theme for her wedding was a "BOOT and SCOOT".  Well you can never say us TEXICIANS are opinionated or stick strictly to traditions.. 

 

BOOT and SCOOT

297: Seed and Feed

I have not been putting in any effort on ths blog. I admit I really should and I might try to change that. Anyway I was passing through down town today and noticed 6 different photographers working down town, must be a better place than even I imagined. What does all this mean---nothing other than I noticed this and it seemed pleasant,

209: Hallways

Good Images? Come on man!

You carried me to a hospital what is their to shoot at a hospital. There is little there except endless cluttered hallways.

Endless Hallway

85: The Street After Dark -- Sacred Things

No one can ever say I am opinionated, Yea Right. But there are some things just plain wrong. To a Texician western (cowboy) boots are a sacred institution. Do you think "The DUKE" would ever wear something like this?



But I guess nothing is sacred any more! "Documenting The Human Condition."

76B: The Street at Night -- The Third Night

They say the third time is the charm, may be so. At least in this case it fits. For those of you who do not know, I do not do "set up" shots (only one so far in this series and this is not it). Last evening I saw the image I posted earlier but made another capture that I failed to review.

Calvary In Junk Shop Window

Here was Calvary on Saturday night in Waxhaw. The three crosses: the large white one for Jesus, A small white cross for the convict who repented, The small dark cross for the one who did not repent, All against the dark sky (reflection in the window).

Some times the truth is right before our eyes and we fail to see it.

75: The Street at Night -- The Next Night

The Receptionist Desk as Seen from the Street

Two night in a row and no police. But, tonight the intoxicated ones were very curious. But it is Friday night and this is right next to a bar were they can bring out their drinks while they catch a breath of "Fresh Air".

74: The Street at Night

It came time to make my post and no image for the day. I went out for one last try and there it was. Patience, Patience.
