Road Trip Back Again

Hey everybody! I'm back from Uncertain, Texas.. HOOOOT and TONS of mosquitos... lost a little money in Shreveport, Louisiana casinos.... toured some of Louisiana, and back into Texas stopping and camping along the way and shooting fresh images.

Great trip, but what's with the folks in N.E. Texas and the lack of teeth? ;-) A different backwoods world I tell ya.

Well, off to the shower and then a nice glass of vino to kill my pain, and sooth my sun-blistered face.

I did find just about everyone I met to be extremely talkative, curious, and friendly. Sometimes it was difficult just to go in somewhere for an iced tea without getting trapped in an endless conversation about nothing more than the weather. Or, how quickly the deer hunting season is approaching... Or, the Dallas Cowboys. Didn't meet many who wanted to chat about art theory though. ;-)

The trip was just ok. And, I didn't shoot as much as I thought I would. I was mostly struck by the "sameness" of Texas towns. I'd noticed it in other parts of Texas, but was hoping the N.E. would be significantly different. They all look like the exact same architect did ALL of them. Same town layout... etc. The same could be said of much of Mexico too. But at least in Mexico each seems to put some twist on the same theme... different color scheme, etc.

Also... it was extremely HOT and HUMID. They said hurricane Dolly was to blame and that it's not usually that bad. It was so bad that it really sucked the life out of you and nearly made you feel ill. I just couldn't drink enough water.

I did see enough in some parts to make me want to go back.... when it's MUCH cooler. ;-)
