Ouch! I laughed so hard when I saw this that I spilled my morning coffee. Rest assured, I will file this one for future use!

Many thanks -- I did consider shooting glass plates exclusively on this trip, but I decided against it as I think it's really more of a 'sidebar' to Mapping the West. Who knows, maybe it might become its own thing.

Retro that's a local joke. We get lots of Texan tourists here. WE love them. Bless their hearts.

Last day here, I'm making the long drive home tomorrow.
I managed to develop one more roll of Ilford Pan F in 127 from the Ermanox.

Have a safe trip back Vince. I think you really added quite a few great images to the project this trip!

Many thanks Chip for coming to Carrizozo to meet up and see the work. Not sure when I’ll be back, but hopefully sooner rather than later.

These two are pure New Mexico, loopy and weird. Love 'em!

First one is New Mexico, second one is - brace yourself - Texas.

AAAAGGHHHH!!!!!!!
Although.... If Texas can get a little more loopy, in a good way, maybe there's hope!

Many thanks for the encouraging words Erik- I do appreciate it.
One thing I think I need to do is to put New Mexico aside for a little while and look to other areas of the West that I’ve only passed through or photographed in a limited capacity. I have a potential opportunity with a potato farmer in Idaho so that might be my next adventure. I also think I should try to branch out and look at other communities - looking at my shots from this latest month-long excursion, I seem to have focused much of my attention on men in a certain age range. I think I should look to include more women (actually the Idaho potato farmer is a woman) and members of other groups, but I may need introductions into some of those communities. The other thing I was wondering about is if I should turn some of my attention to the border situation - that is definitely part of the story of the American West, but it may be a bit risky. Something for me to consider.

You have to keep going for a while. Looking for a new place every now and then. Then the good photos will come naturally. Good luck!

Oh yes, I won't be stopping anytime soon. It's a lifelong project.
