“The feeling of the rural night”
Every other year, the Buddy Holly Center in Lubbock hosts a juried photography exhibition, Illuminance. The theme of this year’s show is “The feeling of the rural night”; the juror was Rixon Reed, of Santa Fe’s photoeye gallery.
I am very happy to announce that I had three images selected to be part of the show, and one of the images was awarded an Honorable Mention.
You may have seen earlier versions of these images here on the blog.

Illuminance 2015 will open to the public on Friday, June 26th at the Buddy Holly Center. A closing reception, with gallery talk by Juror Rixon Reed, will take place at 3 PM on Saturday, August 15th. Stop by if you get a chance.
Café Islands
You know those glorious days when every single thing you see looks like it ought to be a photograph?

Children Playing
Well, this just has it all. A street. A street-based basketball goal. A “children playing” sign. A restaurant. A saloon.

When one enters a village
There have been approximately 1 billion photos made of this church at Ranchos de Taos. And with good reason – it is stunningly beautiful.
The trick is to go there, take in the stunningly-beautiful part and then find a new way to capture it. I’m not saying I accomplished that; but I tried…
This archway, that serves as the village entrance into the courtyard and the sacred space beyond, caught my attention; I liked the way it framed the top of the famous church.

Hat Canyon
The man sold me a hat.
Then he said, “Here’s the picture you want.” and led me to the long table stacked with straw hats. Then he pointed at the hat-canyon down the middle.
