Packing madly, everything from post-its to power-strips, coffee to cameras. Many moving parts to be gone from here for a bit and living there. They had snow two days ago.
I inhaled maps for a month or two, backing them with geology, natural history and anthropology from the region. The last few weeks I've immersed myself in Pre-WWII Dada and surrealists. Man Ray's "Cadeau" is my new favorite photo, both in conception and execution. (Google it). Feels like I am set and ready. I'm sure there will be missing spatulas, (as at Hubbell), and surprise vipers scattered around, but my feet are pointed forward. I think.
When confronted by such stupendous scenery it's important, (for me), to remember that scenery ain't necessarily art and any resulting image better be refracting through an filter that only I carry. If only I can find it.
Kicking out tomorrow early into the Texas interstate culture. Tuesday touring O'Keefe's house at Abique. Hoping to blow Shiprock a kiss and be in the park by Wednesday afternoon.
Tyler paper doing a short piece with photographs. Tylerpaper.com. Sunday probably.
