The HOV Lane Blog

Mexia, Texas - Famed Home of Anna Nicole Smith. Driving around looking for “signs,” I noticed that most of the town either was lined up at or trying to enter the parking lot of Jim’s Krispy Chicken and Homemade Yeast Rolls.
This wasn’t the sign I was looking for, but it was a good sign.. [...]

A quick post to let subscribers know a new tracking widget has been added to the site’s sidebar.
The widget is called, “Where Am I?”
I suppose it is pretty self-explanatory. Will keep it updated on a daily basis.  How do you like the new widget?

Lafayette, Louisiana. Anyone headed to this chiropractor will certainly appreciate the good doctor’s services after either climbing the long staircase to the right or the short, steep stairs on the porch.

The stairs on the porch go straight into the ceiling (really), compliments of Dr. Chiropranktic.

UPDATE March 2007: The Timeline has been renamed the Rear View Mirror in the HOV Lane.

The fact that [...]

Ardmore, Oklahoma. As the Element gets blasted with sand, dust and dirt, the blog will be blasted with retrospective entries.
Dust Bowl Update: Visibility has dropped further. Sky disappeared a while ago. The setting is bathed in a subtle-orange light. Living life in a sepia-style photograph. I have seen numerous police cars, [...]

Ardmore, Oklahoma. Much of Oklahoma is being pummel by high winds and dust. So, I am here in my Element… hunkered down to wait the winds out.
It is a little disappointing to not be shooting today, but it was so clearly the “right call.” This is an amazing experience. The winds [...]

Bogalusa, Louisiana.  This beauty flew by on the road to Lafayette.
