I am heading out early to spend the day doing research for an article at EquiFitness, an equine rehabilitation center in College Station. Temperatures are supposed to reach upwards of 105 degrees and I am thrilled about the possibility of working indoors! (At the very least, working in the shade beats long afternoons out in the sun.)
I had a business meeting in the small central Texas town of Wimberly yesterday morning. The camera, of course, came along, and I had every intention of spending the morning in some small town shooting. Needless to say, it didn’t happen. A mountain of paperwork with my name on it was waiting on my desk and I have slept a cumulative 20 hours over the past week. Inspiration, sadly, was lacking. So I came home, dove into my stack of paperwork, and readied the gear for tomorrow’s outing. Sometimes it just doesn’t come together like you planned.
And sometimes it does. This shot is from one of those days when things go better than planned. A boomer thunderstorm had just passed through and I got the urge to go out and shoot. I spotted this old barn – the roof falling down and graffiti in places, and loved the contrast of the “window” through the barn door and the geometric shapes. I ended up shooting several frames; some close, some far. Old buildings like this make me want to explore and get lost… I could easily spend a whole afternoon at a place like this.
