Sunlit Hills, NM
Sometimes a photo is the sum of a year's worth of living, setting forth a conflagration.

"Turkey in the Straw"
Ecoversity, Santa Fe, NM
April 2005

This was part of a feature I wrote and shot for Crosswinds about Santa Fe's Ecoversity, a nonprofit educational center that explores and demonstrates concepts of sustainable living, ecological design, and responsibility for the wise stewardship of the Earth. I spent half a day there, touring the grounds and talking to the administrators. One of them was looking at me a bit oddly for much of the time we talked. At the end of the day, she turned to me and said, "You remind me so very much of our founder. You've got her same energy." When I went home, I looked up Frances Harwood and discovered that  she had also founded the Naropa Institute in Boulder. I was flattered, to say the least.
