I like wandering around there with a camera.
Still plenty of ruins.
I was just off Broadway, near the underpass.
Here is the underpass.
Interesting "detritus".
Lots of law offices. The number of lawyers downtown is spine-chilling.
A little macro.
A little telephoto.
It is what it is. More downtown Lubbock next time.
Just scratching the surface here. There's a lot.
Zoom with image stabilization is really neat.
I like to get details like this.
And humble details like this, left over from July 4th, no doubt.
I continue to examine the old Citizen's Tower/Omni as remodeling continues.
Then I moved on, to more downtown stuff. Next time.
I always find things downtown.
Work progresses on this reconditioned bank. It won't be a bank this time. The city bought it.
Great alleys downtown!
At least, there will be one less ruin.
I can't resist the funky alley stuff. Gauges and meters and fire escapes and whatnot. More next time.
Yeah, right after Christmas let's just jump back into ruins and wrecks.
It just now occurs to me that I could use a macro lens and never run out of material. I could take just one subject, and zoom in and zoom in closer, and closer, until we are looking at an alien landscape. Next year I think I will try that.
Consider this light fixture. I took a lot of photos at this location but I could have taken just as many photos exploring this light fixture at various scales and from various points of view. Since I don't see myself driving to small towns anymore, or doing much traveling at all anymore, devoting this blog to detailed examinations of just one thing or one small area, might be a good direction for the future. I'm out of photos when I finish this installment, so I might try this new approach next time.
What a great idea!
