I’ve decided to start a photo project to be completed while I am here in Wichita Falls, Texas. I’m scouring downtown (the area where my parents live) for interesting letters of the alphabet. I’ve done this type of project before, in my own neighborhood.

I thought it would be fun to look beyond the action of the vacation (which there hasn’t been much of yet, but then again, I already have over 150 pictures to upload to flickr) and see some of the scenery surrounding us. Wichita Falls’ downtown is a bit on the “not dead yet” side, with gaps where stores used to be, leaving crumbling tile on the ground to mingle with the dandelions. Some of the buildings are being revitalized (like my parent’s apartment building) and a few have businesses still pumping some life downtown. It makes for some interesting glimpses into the past and the present.

If this goes well, I might try and repeat it in other cities I visit as well. I wonder where I can find the letter “Z” in Wetumpka, AL?
