Way back in 2009 when I started my photography-blogging habit, I really had no concept about what I was in for. I didn’t know that photography would become so meaningful to me, that I am sort of good at it, that I’d be in shows, or that I  would go away to take classes. But mostly, I just didn’t see that there was potential to reach out to other people – via the blog or Facebook or Instagram – and make some fine new friends in the process.

One of those fine friends is Santa Fe photographer R. David Marks; we’ve gotten to know each other lately and met up for a day earlier this summer in Tucumcari. We had an excellent time photographing the things that caught our eye. This is one of the first photos I made that day; every time I look at it I’m reminded of how much fun we had.
