on my way to a job at vermejo ranch in new mexico, i made a very quick stop. just south of amarillo is palo duro canyon state park.
i only had about an hour and a half to tour the park. not much time for a park of this size.
the rain came just before the darkness set in. i’ll have to come back this way again soon.
i finally got my hasselblad fixed a few weeks ago in austin. it was good to shoot some film. unfortunately, the back broke right after i finished this roll of 12, but the shots turned out okay, and it revved up my appetite for medium-format again.
nothin’ better than an old fashioned view camera and a backyard family barbeque…
july has started on a high note for me.
i went to austin for the fourth, to spend time with my brother, sister, mom, sister-in-law, brother-in-law, my niece, and all three of my nephews. it was eventful, to say the least.
the kids aren’t always angels, but then again, neither are we adults. regardless, i always leave full when i have the chance to hang with my family.
i am truly blessed.
so i made a quick film of our fourth to solidify the good memories we made…

though i slept at the cooke city dump again last night, when i awoke today, the sun greeted me.
it was so bright, i almost expected it to talk to me in a low, cartoonish voice, and extend its two scoops of raisins my way…
