Behind The Lens

Location

I'm a photographer and a poet and I travel often from Austin to Santa Fe to attend my favorite writer's conference in Truchas, NM–which incidentally, is another great spot to photograph! I'm working on a series of photos on the Texas/New Mexico landscape transition.This spot is one of my favorites, right at the border in between the two states. This is an abandoned church, full of graffiti on the inside. I will keep the exact location secret for now! Thank you so much for the love!

Time

Late afternoon

Lighting

This is a natural light shot

Equipment

This was a quick study with my i-phone!

Inspiration

I'm always scouting during these trips, I stop a lot.

Editing

I can't remember, it was a while ago, I don't manipulate my photos much, these days, I used to process way more than I do now. I'm working with a documentary style mindset. My shots tend to be low in technique but highly evocative, I think of my poems in the same way. My poetry and my photography are intertwined.

In my camera bag

I love my sony camera, I know it's not a popular choice, but I get a lot of mileage out of it, I also love my SX-70 and my Rollei. I'm transitioning back to film.
