Crystals

Our little winter adventure yesterday amounted to not much of anything – nothing really stuck, but we got a bunch of ice which made some nice crystals on the car. This structure is about eight inches across.

More Space Available

A midday look at empty places and vacant spaces. There were a lot of them in the downtown area, more of them as you drove off into the distances.

Signs

Another from Elberton this past weekend … several more to come.

I dragged out my old Quaker apothegm again: Proceed as the way opens. Hurled it at some students who were trying to decide what to shoot next while they were over-thinking the situation. As for me, I yielded a bit in what I shot – aside from editors and students, not a single person.

What’s become of me?

Empty at Night

Still up in Elberton, Ga. After a late dinner we were walking back to our cars (the only ones left in the downtown area) when I saw this empty, for rent space. Just two lights at the far end gave it a hollow feel. Almost an anticipatory feel.

Lost Signs

I’m up in Elbert County, Georgia, for my annual weekend workshop. Did a short walk around the downtown area looking for … for … I don’t know. Light? History?

Have been thinking about abandoned signs for a while and found a pair.
