most of the pics from downtown okc were done in the spirit of gloom. it was hot and my mood was fine, but any midwestern business district on a sunday morning is a horrid expression of failure. those fountains might be o.k. with lots of people around them. otherwise, desolate, decaying, depressing. i liked the light. the old art deco. reminds of st. louis. which is probably the source of the gloom-association b/c that city has made some downtown improvements since i left it.

and my dad was on the phone during most of the shooting… talking about a friend of his who is probably dead now.

the soda place is pops on route 66 in arcadia, oklahoma. a 5-mile detour off interstate 35 and very pop-ular, won AIA regional design awards (i gave them some magazines with that noted on one page : ), sells tons of awesome sugar and was fun to pull into in my rental silver charger with california plates.
