Patriot’s Dream #19
Bozeman, Montana
2011

Do you suppose that appealing to a person’s patriotism lessens the chance their dog will poop on your lawn?

Date Night at the Steakhouse
Billings, Montana
2011

Dark nights, wet pavement, and neon; hard to pass up as ingredients for a photo.

Electrical Flow
Billings, Montana
2011

Power lines reflecting in rainwater draining down an alley in downtown Billings.

Remodel
Billings, Montana
2011

Another new building construction abstract. This one was actually a remodel of an older building I think. I liked the lines and shapes as well as the pattern on the wall where the darker areas were caused by moisture from the rain storm that had been going on earlier soaking into the wall panels.

Gridlock #14
Billings, Montana
2011

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.

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.

Patriot’s Dream #18
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?
