I'm going to be secretive about where I took these, for good reasons. They have been down-sized. Originals in full resolution are in my personal archive. All these images are my work and my property.
More to follow, in the coming days...
Might as well put 'em up and be done with it.
That last pic: what a tangle of wires and wood poles! This is a fairly typical Lubbock alley. It's just a little more congested than normal due to all the small business establishments on the left side of this pic.
I grew up in a town with no alleys. I didn't know what I'd missed until I got to Lubbock.
When I finish this photo set, you'll know what I mean when I call Lubbock a twentieth-century city with nineteenth century infra-structure...
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!).
