This gallery is a melange of my photographic styles as well as a look into my daily life. I try to capture something new every day or else to find something that fits the day. It's a great excuse to carry my camera with me more often than not, and it allows me to stop and take those pictures that need to be taken.

Dickey Box Nice Cars
Back in the old hometown last week, I just had to run out and grab a few images of this classic old car dealership. I don't know that too many people in Midland, TX think of this as a landmark, but to me it's a treasure that should be preserved. Cool structure, huh?
Back in the 1970's the dealership had a sign that said "Dickey Box Nice Cars," but someone must have decided to upgrade the venture to "Motor Company."
One of my high school friends had a stepfather who actually worked here as a salesman. We never knew when my friend would show up driving some new cute vehicle with dealer tags. She might have it for a day or two or maybe for a couple of weeks before she would give it back. Fun times -- we'd take that car to "Love's Burger Train" (but we all just called it Loves) for a French Vanilla Cherry Lemon Lime Sprite before driving by all the cute boys' houses.
Last time I looked, Loves had turned into a beauty shop. Dickey must have sold all of his cars after he changed his sign. And the Robert E. Lee High School Class of '78 did not have a 30 year reunion this year . . . sigh.
