Driving Home
Just purely having fun playing around with the camera in the car at dusk.
The poor camera has finally succumbed to duct tape.
Last week I picked up a copy from the library of Close Range: Wyoming Stories, the book of short stories by Annie Proulx that includes Brokeback Mountain as the final story. So far I've only read the first one, "The Half Skinned Steer", but looking at these pictures is, for me, evocative of that strange and sad story.

I love those pictures! Eerie and, well, lonely.

You take great pictures from a duct taped camera! Hope you can get a new one soon. (that is... if you want a new one) (o:

ooohhhh I love those pictures. (were you driving and taking the pics?) There is such a dream like quality to them.
I read Close Range when it first came out in '99.

I love those pictures! Doesn't look like dusk, looks like some kind of weird nuclear event, or an alien invasion......(well the last one looks like an invasion)

gorgeous photos. I think the duct tape paid for itself here. The blurriness just adds to the mood and I love those magical twilight colors.

they're sooooo pretty! (and, i love the fair isle/mountains combo too. i often check in to see what's new on your blog, and if i really don't have time for that, as i should be elsewhere, doing who knows what, i can at the very least enjoy the photofest. thanks iris!

I LOVE the one of the shack or house, or whatever that is. It reminds me of a Phillip Glass/Robert Wilson opera. I would love a print of that one, too. Are you willing to sell?
