Big Bend Pictures 2003: This book is all black and white images shot on film, of the people and landscapes of the Big Bend area. I never wanted to do a tourist type, pretty, oversaturated color book of Big Bend landscapes. It's been done a hundred times. I wanted to show what kind of person chooses to live in this landscape. These mountains, these skies are addictive. You can feel it when you visit, but for some, myself included, I couldn't leave it. 33 years later, I can still hardly leave it. The book reprinted three times and has sold out, and no longer in print. They are a collector's item. I am currently working on a new retrospective book to update this classic.
