Going through some old proof sheets today and came Going through some old proof sheets today and came across this picture I made 20 years ago of country musician/murderer Spade Cooley's burial chamber. He has a truly horrific story. 

Lots of forgotten pictures in these binders that one day I'll find a life for.

It's taken me a long time to finally get this old shed light tight, and water run out to it, and all the other things, but it now works beautifully. I'm so thrilled to be able to print in my own backyard now!

I love making pictures in Florida. We've been goin I love making pictures in Florida. We've been going to Southwest Florida for family vacations as long as I remember and my parents have been splitting their year between Minnesota for Florida for many years. We try to visit every year and I have a pretty large archive of pictures made there now. It's now both entirely exotic and so familiar now. Lots of new discoveries, but an understanding and closeness to the landscape that is so exciting for me to make pictures in. This one is from last week.

From @hernameishailey and I's California roadtrip From @hernameishailey and I's California roadtrip a few months ago. Finally getting around to processing all the film! I'm 90% sure this was taken almost exactly where the plaid pants girl picture was taken 12 years ago. This location wants to give me gifts every time I guess.

The giant saguaro named Strong Arm in Catalina Sta The giant saguaro named Strong Arm in Catalina State Park fell down during a monsoon a few months ago, I finally got out to reshoot it. 

It's much harder to make an exact rephotograph in the landscape than I realized! I'm probably being too hard on myself, but Klett and co's Rephotographic project was such a seminal book for me as a landscape photographer. The precision they were able to duplicate is even more impressive to me now!

BTW - My show is still up at @andrewsmithgallery

I'm completely humbled and ecstatic to be included I'm completely humbled and ecstatic to be included in this wonderful little publication published by the Denver Art Museum. Years ago Robert Adams and I exchanged prints after working with him because of my job at Fraenkel Gallery. I hoped he would enjoy it, but I never imagined it'd be donated with his entire art collection to the Denver Art Museum alongside some of my biggest photographic heroes.
