In the deep south where summer is very hot and humid state fairs make their appearance in fall. Meanwhile, in New Mexico, the state fair occurs during…

  • A Little Burst

    T here’s no other explanation for it. I must be crazy. I told myself when I decided to rework my website and blog that I was mostly going to feature straight photography. No more experimenting. That lasted about three weeks. There is a difference. In the past. I wouldn’t go as far as I could.…
