the frontier

I can’t imagine a world where there’s not a Frontier Restaurant in Albuquerque; it’s been right there on the corner of Central Avenue and Cornell Avenue since I can remember*. It’s good. It’s cheap. It’s open long hours. And (as you can see here) they bus the tables for you.

*Never you mind how long that is.

This is Bennett. She will be in the 4th grade in the fall. She loves sports (all of them)(but especially soccer) and never ever walks if she can run. She wants to be an astronaut. She’s got an outstanding, quick sense of humor and has a sweet and gentle soul.

In nine days on the road, I made 3,000 photographs. This is by far the most joyful one of the entire bunch. And it sure made me happy I finally released myself from that ban on photographing people.

Back in the day when I lived in Albuquerque, this was a fancy office building. The subsequent decades have not been especially kind to the building and I would no longer consider it “fancy” by any known metric.

here i go again

This town is so small that the church is practically the only thing there. So of course I stopped to take a look around. And – of course, one more time – I looked through the window to see what I could see (and photograph). It’s just a thing I do.
