Nazi Headquarters



Nazi Headquarters

Blind Woman in Mink







The Blind Woman in Mink

The blind woman barely remembers the slices of light that are photographs, but she lets someone take a picture. She feels secure and confident in her new hat and soft Christmas mink. Her dog is a shoulder to lean on. The sun warms her face. Her toe defines the edge of the world.

Art Deco Field Brothers Station Print




Field Brothers Station



This Art Deco Field Brothers gas station (built in 1919) would be right at home on Route 66, but it's about forty miles south in Pauls Valley, Oklahoma. It was taken on a beautiful summer day, after a long trip, at the end of a friendship (as so many long trips end up being), so it has special meaning to me. It is beautiful but seems lonely -- empty but for the birds flitting in and out from under the canopy. It shines at the crossroads at the center of town, clinging to its own special time in history, not wanting to let it go.

Western Windbreak



Western Windbreak



What a lonely story this windbreak tells of a hundred years farm that sits on the edge of town, a brand new shopping center across the street. Next winter the windbreak and cornfield will be gone, replaced by a Wal-mart or some other bit of urbanity, and a little piece of history will be lost.
