Forward and Backward

The other day I mentioned my wild idea to plunge headlong into a photographic project depicting my current home, the State of New Mexico. You can read about it here if interested. Some of the feedback I received was that people are pretty excited to see some or all of the work I’m doing here, even using it for research into their own photographic journeys (yikes!)

So I thought it might be fun to look back at some images that seem to fit the project that I took before the idea even crystallized in my being. So, just for fun, here are a few:
