gold is immortality
I met a gentleman from Louisiana in the hotel in Alamogordo.
Wait a minute. That doesn’t sound right.
What I mean is that I crossed paths with a gentleman from Louisiana and we had a chat in the hotel lobby. He’d come all the way from Monroe to see the dunes (and what he called the “yucca trees”) and was interested in what our group was finding. He said he hoped I got a photo of the sunset.
I did. And this is it.
(Probably to your great relief, this is the end of White Sands. Thanks for sticking with me!)

The sunset started in spectacular and over the course of a half-hour or so, just kept getting better and better.
After a while, I took a break from making regular sunset photos, and decided to do some with intentional camera movement. It’s kind of a cliche, a little redundant, perhaps derivative, but still I liked swirling the oranges and yellow together.

Let’s just go ahead and get this out of the way: I went to Maine. There was a spectacular sunset one night.
There was other stuff too, so stay tuned. But also know that that nothing else I post is going to be quite this dramatic.

Maybe you know that I’ve spent the better part of the last two years working on a documentary project; it covers the entire length of Route 66 and I made just shy of 7,000 black and white images.
Later this week, my collaborator – the Oklahoma photographer VC Torneden – and I will have an exhibit of a few of these images. It’s called The Other Side and will be at the Charles Adams Gallery in Lubbock through the end of the month. Stop by, if you get a chance.
And all of that was to say that I sort of got burned out on black and white images. I love black and white and have built my photographic career (such as it is) on being a strong monochrome shooter.
So, I’m pivoting to color, and that’s all you’ll see from me for the entirety of the month.
You’ve been warned.
