Cold and bleak today. I gave my wife's camera a thorough check and it is in perfect working order! It is just too cold and windy today to go out and use it. Yesterday we were out and about, and I took the opportunity to take some more Lubbock pics, using MY beat-up but still perfectly useful version of the same camera. With these photos I set the camera on Aperture Priority and set the highest f-stop available (for the smallest aperture), trying to get the greatest depth of field possible. For my Tahoka pics, I just used the "auto" setting and let it go at that.
Images of Tahoka just keep on coming.
On a positive note, my wife's camera arrived yesterday via UPS-- late, of course. I am a big fan of the United States Postal Service. They deliver on time, among other things. Support them. Use them! But now she has a camera identical to the one I've been using lately. Hers came with an SD card and a shutter button and all the accessories that mine lacked. But mine only cost $2.50. Her lens needed cleaning and that was about it.
Pray for Tahoka-- that the town's outlook might become more PROGRESSIVE.
These visions of Tahoka, they keep rising before my eyes...
I had the opportunity recently to speak to someone who knows a bit about Tahoka. It seems that the city council is deeply divided, some wanting no change whatsoever, while others would like to revive the community. All are clueless. Years ago, for a brief period, the town hosted a motocross event but it was so poorly managed that it made no money. There were no vendors, for instance. Tahoka today seems content to curl up and die.
More to come...
