death comes
I really like to photograph cemeteries and on a recent trip to New Mexico, they were really calling to me. Calling to me photographically, I mean, not in a “why don’t you come join us?” way.
The textures, the symbols, the stories that remain mysterious to me, the cultural and geographical differences all draw me in. And once I’m drawn in, you know for sure I’ll make photos.

train depot, restroom
If you think it’s weird that I am always watchful for photogenic things in restrooms, maybe this colorful scene from a small train station will change your mind.
Or, maybe it’ll just be further evidence that I am weird.
It could be both of these things, actually, now that I think about it.

the waiting
The train station in Lamy was busier than maybe I would have expected, with a smattering of people waiting on the 12:58 train from Albuquerque. There was the stationmaster, who told me that the station was “sometimes busy.” There was a woman with a ticket to Chicago and quite a bit of luggage. And there was this guy – and when the train arrived, I saw him helping a very old woman off the train.
