Yet Even More Tahoka

Small towns like Tahoka are great places for me to do the kind of photography I really enjoy. In my opinion, Grand Canyons and Great Tetons (whatever tetons are) have been done to death. Everybody from Ansel Adams to Melvin Schlobbotnick has done photography in places like that.
Give me the Tahokas, the Lamesas, the Lazbuddies, the Muleshoes, the Levellands, and, yes, even the Lubbocks.








 

Approaching The End

I'm getting close to the end of my Tahoka pics. I hope I've given folks some great vacation ideas.

So Much To See And Do In Tahoka!

Tahoka has a lot to look at, as evidenced by my pictures...










These photos barely scratch the surface, and there are more to come!

A Cold SNAP, & More Tahoka

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.

Tahoka Haunts One's Brain

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.
