beyond adobe lies the white place
Perhaps I’ve mentioned this previously: I have a crush on New Mexico. There’s just nowhere else that looks…this way.
My great thanks to my great friend David Marks for spending a whole day driving me around, showing me the things I didn’t know to look for. Like this place, a melting-away adobe church with a view of the famous White Place through an opening in the wall.

*I read Three by Valérie Perrin, which met my criteria of being long – 550 pages – and being a paperback. I bought it at Magic City Books in Tulsa, which is an awesome bookstore that you ought to visit.

It is not even possible for me to be bored at an airport, as long as I’ve got a camera.
I passed time the other day at the Albuquerque airport testing out (or, really, playing with) a Zeiss 21mm lens that my friend David loaned to me. And this is what it saw.

it gets worse from here
Sun and wind and time have not been kind to this grave-side flag. And it is only going to get worse unless someone steps in to replace it.
