285

Early last week Jordi Baizan, a musician based in Houston, called about using a couple of my images for the jacket of his band's upcoming CD entitled “285.”  When I asked how he found the photographs he said that he had Googled "US 285" and found my work.  Above is one of them. 

Then a design firm in Vancouver emailed about an image called "Wagon Rut."  The agency's owner said she had Googled for images of, well, Wagon Ruts and after drilling very deep came up with the one below which, get this, was taken on US 285.  You can't make this stuff up.

Turns out that I have a substantial portfolio of photographs taken along 285’s diagonal path from Texas to Colorado.  Could this be the theme of a show or book?

Next week more postcards from 285 or not.
