« through the viewfinder: the ranch »

Speaking of soulful spaces, this weekend, my friend Katherine invited Alex and me to her family's ranch in Sealy, Texas.  The ranch is about 100 years old, and is full of great Texas history -- and since Katherine is a consummate storyteller, we followed her rapt as she told the tales of all the outbuildings and other structures on the land.

Since it is such a historic place, I decided to take the Kodak Duaflex out for spin.  The result is a new photography project on my projects pageClick here to see it -- I hope you enjoy.

A quick note to say that if you've ordered a calendar prior to this past weekend, it's on its way to you now.  And for those of you who haven't ordered yet, but intended to, more are now available.  In addition, I'm slowly adding some 8x10 prints to the store, so keep checking back.  Thanks to all of you for your support!

Wow - awesome photo! I find it very spooky and scary.... like an image to go along with a ghost story! You didn't meet any ghosts out on the ranch, did you?!
