Bet I’m too late, but I like looking at the boats the bestest. The fragile barks of life ready to set out on the doomed journey to volcanic destruction.

Thanks for the glimpse through your artist’s eye–As I look at each photo, I think there’s a story behind it–real or fiction–it doesn’t matter, but each photo is evocative, for sure. The “ghost” in the church; the generations of transportation rooted in place as the modern conveyance blurs by, the veggies and candles as offerings to what? And the vegetation mimicking the arch of the geologic structure. Oh and I really liked the superman t-shirt and the back of the gangsta guy, with the child playing off to the side in the flowers pic. Lots of story material! I had to vote for Nevada, as Jesse is no doubt whizzing by a similar view as I type this on his way to the Telluride Bluegrass Festival. (I was invited, but declined in order to play responsible mom for the week, and support Hil @ her final dance perf. in GV.) Silly ole me!

The fact that the focus here is on travel alters how I look at these. For example, I like Truck and Rooster, but they don’t say much about locale. Conversely, both Flowers and Church suggest a place-based story, but lack the artistic touch of some of the others. Many nice compositions, though; clearly, a skilled eye at work.
