Through With Tahoka

If anyone would like to comment and tell me about all the wonderful and positive things in Tahoka, all the great entertainment venues, the many things for people to see and do, the many and varied tourist attractions, the fantastic employment opportunities, the many business opportunities, the progressive and forward-looking and investment-friendly city leadership, the green spaces, the community centers, the cultural centers, the intense academic environment in first-rate schools, and all the other good things that make this a superb town in which to live and work and have children, please do so. This blog is open for comment, and unless someone is severely abusive and foul-mouthed I won't censor comments. Meanwhile, I am posting the last of my Tahoka pics. As usual, I photograph what I, personally, find interesting. My idea of interesting might not conform to your idea of interesting. So be it...







After Tahoka, it is time to return to Lubbock. I have a new batch of photos taken in Lubbock, and in these I have used more "advanced" camera settings ( we are no longer in "auto" mode, Little Dorfy!).

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.
