People of Perryton
August 22nd, 2022
Yesterday I went to Perryton to continue working on my project to document the town where I grew up. I had arranged to photograph the congregation of the Perryton Methodist Church after their service. They are a fine group of people and we had a good time and a good chat. This church is right across the street from the house where I grew up. Until yesterday I had never noticed just how asymmetrical the building is. I think it’s really quite interesting.
After the church photo I visited again with Bill and Judy Morgan and made a couple portraits of them.
I also had the good fortune to catch a couple families outdoors which resulted in a couple more portraits. I’d love to be able to photograph everyone in the town like this.
I also encountered a few other Perryton residents. Pets are people too, right?
And the day’s last stop was at The Old Fool pizza parlor and brewery, just outside of town. I’m still a bit shocked that such an establishment could exist way out there in the country, but it’s a very nice place and it’s great to be able to drop in for some refreshments after a day of photographing.
