Rural Reflections

Something poignant about a lone gas station out in the middle of nowhere.

Edward Hopper caught the feeling in a painting of a gas station surrounded by trees on countryside road.

The reflections of the trees in the windows is a view of another world when set against the background of colorful signage, notices, and advertisements.

Confessions of a Distant Peeping Tom

A child guard, a tied curtain…

A single mystery…

Multiple mysteries…

Eeeerie figures…

Pink curtains (one pair knotted), flower pots, fans and pizza boxes…

A sense of history…

I always wonder

feel the drama

worlds behind windows

and

wish I could

peep into other people’s lives

not just from curiosity

but

in some effort

to figure out my own.

Russell St. in Yellow and Green

Saugurties, NY

Signage and blue predominate in the photograph above, along with activity on the right, but the simple yellow dandelions and green grass and fire plug jumped out at me and demanded a shot.

Overloaded Circuits

On circuit overload

can’t turn off the current

despite parallel despair

know a fuse will blow

but can do little to stop the flow

mania and depression

together = paranoia

The Exchange Hotel in 1905

The Exchange Hotel in 2014

The Ritz it ain’t, but it is a 3-star hotel with a bar and grill.

Windows into Worlds: Bike Culture

We recently toured Saugerties, NY and I found this interesting window full of biker paraphernalia and decided to play with the subject and the reflections of the town in the window.
