Last weekend I went back to Lubbock to attend a friends wedding.

After the reception, we lit some fireworks which quickly burned out thanks to the Lubbock wind.

It was supposed to be a tunnel of light for the bride and groom to run through, however the sparklers where out before they got to the door.

Considering the fire danger that Lubbock was under, seems like an odd choice; but I guess it is better than throwing rice and watching the birds explode.

Back when I lived in Lubbock, a group of friends and I went on weekly photo adventures. I say weekly, but sometimes there where multiple adventures during the week.

This is when we would hop into a car, pick a direction and drive, without a care in the world. Hunting down items to photograph. Sometimes just hitting up antique stores, but always looking for fun.

As things happen, some of us graduated college and moved away. Some graduated college and stayed behind.

We organized a group on Facebook with the effort of organizing an adventure, but since we are so far apart a physical adventure has not happened yet. It was then decided that a long distance adventure should occur.

We organized a bit more, created the site and then put a bunch of themes in a hat. The first theme was chosen, the photo I posted last night.

The next theme will be chosen tonight, and then we will have 2 weeks to shoot it.

I think this will be a fun challenge.

There is also a Poll, where you can vote on who has the best photo.

Vote on it here.

Once upon a time, a group of friends went driving across Lubbock county to find sunflowers to photograph.

This would be the first time I would use the instant back on a buddy of mines holga. The fish eye lens on the front end of the camera created an interesting effect, I need to find that lens.

This hand fountain sits outside the English Building on the Texas Tech campus.

I shot this on an old photo walk around campus bright and early in the morning.

Football season has started. I miss being on the sideline shooting the games, but I enjoy watching them on TV and getting to bed at a decent hour.

It is a tradeoff I guess.
