Interiors

Lately I've tried to bring my camera along whenever I head out the door, trying to bring it into roadside tourist traps, antique stores, wherever, in case something catches my eye.  I've found that these places hold numerous opportunities for interesting photographs - the low light, light pouring through windows, filtered through layers of dust and aged glass, angled light creating shadows, bouncing off the walls and mirrors, falling on a variety of brightly colored kitsch, antiques with textured features, aged wood, clutter and dust...

An antique store in Las Vegas, where the light coming in from a dirty window caught my eye...

Casa Grande Trading Post and Petting Zoo in Los Cerrillos, with the glowing bottles and dirty window...



A roadside tourist trap in Taos, with its corner of mirrors capturing, bouncing, repeating reflections...



A store in Santa Fe, with the beam of light coming through the window, illuminating the brightly colored blankets...



And another photo from a later stop at the Casa Grande Trading Post and Petting Zoo in Los Cerrillos, where the cacophony of antiques, aged wood, and shadows are both intriguing and overwhelming at the same time...
