Shiprock shadows.

  After years of trying to find right conditions, a pilot, access, et, et.  On the fifth actual booked flight...finally got off the runway and into the air over Shiprock.


Flight path record.










Tried again that afternoon and the next morning.  Wind too high, then morning clouds.  So seven attempts.


Looking at proofs.  No prints to speak of yet.  And watched through the summer for another chance to get to Farmington.

 

Busy in the West...kinda.

It's the oddest thing.  The only folks who have seen my Guggenheim Portfolio are me and the selection committee.  Nobody else curious enough to ask.  I'm not much of a self promoter.  That's just the way it is.  





But....I've been in the West four trips, working.  As the Guggenheim person said: "Light having sex in the desert."

 

 Ten Texas Tornadoes and other stories.  At Longview Museum of Fine Arts through December 20.


Very capable staff and support at LMFA.


Stacy Odom and I did the sequencing.  Settled in Nicely.


43 framed pieces.  Largest exhibit I've ever had outside of Brick Street Anthology at Tyler Museum of Art back in 2016.




Signing prints.



I had Hanson Design and CAFE Xpress print some promotional post cards.
