Cameras do magical things. Light leaks, motion blurs, long exposures. In all my years of photographing, Some images are in a world all their own. Not a misfit, but not part of the series either. I call it outside the portfolio box. These moments of capture- I can not explain. I feel compelled to credit the camera as a collaborator. In the warmth of the yellows and cool purple shadows, I remember the summers in the Sandia Mountains and the Boulder River Valley. I remember sunsets looking west from the rooftop of childhood friends.
