Tucson, AZ, 2018 . . . This was created from and digital image I made in from a trip to Tucson many years ago. I made it on the impossible lab and the hard drive the original image was on is dead. In some way I’m so thankful to have this Polaroid in lieu of the digital file. The framed original print is available ($500) or you can opt to buy a print at my darkroom page. Just got to the link in my bio. . . . #saguarocactus #tucsonmuseumofart #mocatucson #tucsondesertartmuseum #artsfoundtucson (at Tucson, Arizona) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMh4EaHnjT0/?igshid=1dk8xbfycstaw

This too shall pass, 2021 . . I photograph many subjects and media and often think it’s this stupid obsession. My process is staggered, collecting images in series over long periods. A reaction to any environment that I find myself in. Recently I’ve been focused on transition. There’s always been an innate need to live amongst mountains and I have found it here. My wife is the reason I’m able to be here in southern New Mexico. We moved six months ago to this place to build our lives somewhere unknown, where we didn’t know anyone, during a the pandemic. This marks the longest I have ever lived away from Chicago and away from friends and family. I miss them all, but I feel pretty lucky today. . . . #americanlandscape #newmexicolife #lascrucesartist #newmexicoart #nmoutside (at San Augustine Pass New Mexico) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMXj0t7HDYA/?igshid=10i7h9ah5isju

I was so baffled when we first moved to New Mexico and would see cows on the hiking trails.

Embrace your inner cowboy. But, I just can’t wear the boots. . . . I think this was Texas, shortly before entering New Mexico. Not sure what this cowboy is doing but he’s got a mean lean. . . . #archivecollectivemag #newmexicolife #verybusymagazine #reframedmag #urban_feature (at New Mexico) https://www.instagram.com/p/CLZTqLqH8r8/?igshid=1tjc3txre5720

Who doesn’t like a good road trip? The hippies don’t have any bands to follow around so I wonder what they’ve been up to... . . . . #southwesternstyle #analogforeverzine #polaroidsx70 #nowherediary #somewheremagazine https://www.instagram.com/p/CLKFNQsnvgW/?igshid=12kmrct9x9lhr

HW27, NM, 2021 . . A snow storm was rolling in while I was driving up highway 27 towards Hillsboro, NM. I stopped at Lake Valley which is an old mining ghost town. I’ll post some of those images later. . . . #Newmexicotrue #Newmexicosky #Travelnewmexico #Nm_outside #Newmexicobound #take_magazine #Thought_landscape #thinkverylittle #ifyouleave #Ruralexposures #Dreamland_arts_of_nature #Ournaturedays #Fiftyshades_of_nature #Nature_brilliance #paradiseart #paradisaeart #banalmag #Indiependentmag #heyfsc #nowhereeverywhere #Westbysouthwest #Documentyourdays #Contextnotebook #Documentingspace #lensculturediscovery #passionpassport #artofvisuals | @artofvisuals (at New Mexico) https://www.instagram.com/p/CLCKZN2n5Ly/?igshid=2907uozkr3pk
