I should find a systematic way to name these series. So let's say that this is "2014 No. 1 Set 1.
And I guess I should mention that unless otherwise noted, such as stating that I found something on the web, the pics I post on this blog are my work and should be assumed to have a copyright. What you see here are low-resolution. The originals, in their original mega-pixel glory, reside in a digital archive. If I get more serious about my photography, those high-res digital originals will be the basis for large hard copy prints. If any of my blog pics are reproduced elsewhere, I would like to have credit, in the form of a reference to my blog, or a link to my blog.
This series was taken in an alley south of 34th Street, here in Lubbock, Texas.
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!).
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.
I'm getting close to the end of my Tahoka pics. I hope I've given folks some great vacation ideas.
Tahoka has a lot to look at, as evidenced by my pictures...
These photos barely scratch the surface, and there are more to come!
