Scaling Up
Billings, Montana
2011

Another view of the new building going up in Billings, this one simply a study in abstract lines.

Apocalypse When?
Billings, Montana
2011

Well, I guess the Rapture didn’t happen the other day, or if it did I’ve been hanging around with the wrong crowd as no one I know has gone missing. And with the Rapture apparently delayed for now, I assume the subsequent destruction of the earth has been put off as well. But it was in the apocalyptic spirit that I created this view of what is actually a new building going up.

What the World Needs Now
Wichita, Kansas
2011

Harper’s Weekly ceased publication in 1916 during the middle of World War I, perhaps due to a lack of interest in civilization at the time.

Two Girls for Every Boy
Wichita, Kansas
2011

Probably not what the Beach Boys had in mind.

Wichita, Kansas
2011

Only thirty-eight stars on this flag. Kansas was the fifth youngest state at the time of this flag. Quick, what’s the thirty-eighth state?

Santa Fe, New Mexico
2011

While I’m not a particularly religious person and I certainly don’t believe in angels with wings (even though watching the movie Michael made it kind of fun to imagine they did), this just seems wrong to me.

Spring Garlands
Wichita, Kansas
2011

This was taken a number of weeks ago when things were just really starting to bloom in Wichita. By now the blossoms are long gone and the tree fully leafed out.

Capturing the Sun
Wichita, Kansas
2011

A weak sun finally starts burning its way through the fog and low clouds, only to be trapped in the branches of a tree.

When Zebras Settle Down
Wichita, Kansas
2011

Kansas isn’t know for it’s trees, and what trees it does have tend not to be the straight growing varieties. So builders of log cabins had to make due with whatever they could get their hands on. This particular cabin wall looks like it is as much chinking as it is log, giving it a surprisingly pleasing zebra-esque look.
