My darkroom is packed up for our move to Washington in a couple of days. It seems like I just got it set up! I didn’t quite get to finish all the printing I was hoping to do, but here are two last photographs in my black and white series made at our Texas home…

Just a quick post to say Happy Thanksgiving. We’ll be visiting a friend in Big D, so I’ll get to see some more of Texas on the drive from San Angelo.  I’m hoping to hunt down a ghost town along the way…
