life/guard
I am so used to the west Texas wind blowing almost all the time that when I go somewhere that’s not windy, I am sort of it awe of that being an actual thing.
I was in Santa Rosa, New Mexico, the other night and there wasn’t even the tiniest bit of a breeze. You could tell from the air that fall was nearby and it was pleasant to be outside. I took advantage of all those conditions plus some dramatic reflections at a local lake and spent an hour or so making photographs. That v-shaped tree on the far side of the lake is what initially caught my attention; it’s in almost all of the photos I made that night. That seemed fair, since it was the reason I stopped in the first place.

pivots around water
A lot of farms around here are irrigated by center-pivot systems and their spindly frames and slow-motion circles are familiar sights. But for some reason, getting to see one in operation right next to the road is a rare thing; when my photographer friends and I saw this one, of course we stopped (after making the traditional u-turn) to get a closer look.
And photographs. We also got photographs.

4 hearts
It looked like the church had had a Valentine’s dinner that weekend and decided the decorations were festive enough to leave up for a few more days.

co-exist
I’ve driven by this place a few times lately and the juxtaposition of the two signs has entertained me every time. So, the other day I finally did what any self-respecting photographer ought to do: I took the photo.

the ghost bike
I got my photographic start by making images of roadside crosses and other memorials, and the habit of scanning roadsides and looking for memorials has never really left. I don’t always stop these days, but every now and then I see one that needs my attention.
This was one of them.
