Start and stop.

Just west of Creede, Colorado. The Sun was just starting to slash over the ridges to the left of this photo. I must have stopped the car on the nonexistent 'shoulder' three or four times before I was able to walk to the composition I'd already visualized in my head.

Not a single person I show this photo to, loves it the way I do. I can't even put it into words. But then, that is what art is for! This is a reminder to those of you who create, you never - NEVER - have to explain your art, your creative urge - anything.

Stand firm in your loves. Even when they don't appeal to anyone else, the only opinion that matters is your own.

Note: I opened the dm! blog again to supply donation and support links for the fire in Ruidoso, NM. Please give as you can.
