Tree Claws

Last week, I was reading a call for entries for a photography show called “Trees” and the call was all about “the annual autumn spectacular” of changing colors, and the “joy of green leaves”, and how trees are “objects of beauty” and all I could think of was how different my own tree experiences are.

UPFATE: I did go ahead and submit five images of dead trees to that show. And this one got in to the gallery show at the Darkroom Gallery in Vermont. So there’s that.

Long’s Cemetery on the long horizon

The other weekend, I met up with a photographer friend in Santa Rosa, New Mexico, which is one of my favorite towns to photograph. But on the way I took some back roads that were new to me. Which is how I found this little cemetery – a mile down a dirt road and thousands of miles from anywhere.
