Photographed the Beat the Heat Drag Races and the Abilene Drag Strip this evening. What a great idea, Cops, Firefighters and EMS folks getting together and drag racing for education. Great Cars (hopefully see the gallery section soon) mostly old ones like 57 Chevyç—´, older Ford Falcons and the like- all set up with light […]

Shady Grove Campground Left Boulder around 3 this afternoon. Got Jesse squared away at school for the fall and helped him find a new apartment. Six days seems to be a long time to spend in one place now a days. But as usual it was great to hang out with him. As I head east […]

May 23, 2004 Raton, New Mexico

May 23, 2004 – 10:24 AM

May 23, 2004 Shot out of Santa Fe today going 100 miles an hour with an escort from our friend Dwight, the quintessential hair dresser/biker boy (see below). Hard to believe I have been in Santa Fe 19 days. I regrouped and got a lot of things tightened up on the Landyacht. Even made a […]

May 12, 2004 Santa Fe, New Mexico

May 7, 2004 – 10:16 AM

First processing of negative in the Landyacht. Much different than the old darkroom. Learning how to work in smaller space is a challenge. But it works, and with a few more refinements it will all go as smooth as in the big darkroom. Thank God for Polaroid type 55 p/n film. Next step printing??

May 6, 2004 Santa Fe New Mexico

May 6, 2004 – 5:24 PM

Out on the Galesto Road heading east toward Highway 41 again as the sun sets. Did a great image tonight, will be in the Gallery section soon. New Mexico is surely a picture postcard, but what lies beneath the postcard? It’s interesting to be in Santa Fe and photographing. Not being here everyday has opened […]

May 4, 2004 Raton New Mexico

May 4, 2004 – 5:05 PM

At the Summerlan RV Park just outside Raton New Mexico. Amazing to be back in New Mexico. As soon as you cross the border the skies change the clouds grow and the earth feels different. I will always think of New Mexico as home. The sprit of the land and the sky seem to know […]

May 2, 2004 Longmont C0 Amazing to ride the bike over the plains of Colorado and up into the mountains. Traveled about 50 miles today, made a photograph on The Left Hand River, above Boulder and had brunch at The Jamestown Mercantile. A small mountain town about 20 miles above Boulder. Great old mountain town […]

April 30, 2004 – 9:45 PM

March 30, 2003 Cheyenne, Wyoming Whew…. 10 days in Omaha printing large prints and I am back on the road again. All the things that could, do, and will go wrong in a new pt/pl. darkroom didn’t. Despite the huge change in humidity, altitude, all the other atmospheric and emotional changes printing was a breeze. The […]

April 20 kelloge Rain, Cold, Wet. Cruel trick. Can now get the bike off the truck. But as I sit in the land yacht with morning coffee I’m content to be rocked by the wind and hear the music of the rain on the aluminum shell of our house. The land yacht is very aware […]

April 19, 2004 – 11:26 PM

Made it! The further north I went the colder, windier and rainier it got. Arrived at the camp about 10:30 last night totally tired and depressed. So much for the summer weather. Great folks at Discount ramps.com. www.discountramps.com . But it’s just an office, all the products are made else where. I guess the .com should […]
