Greater Tuna - Dress Rehearsal

June 27, 2017

Performed at The Vortex Theatre in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The show is described as "an off-beat commedy set in Tuna, the 'third smallest town' in Texas where the Lions Club is too liberal and Patsy Cline never dies." Actors Brennan Foster and Shawn Body play more than 20 characters. I particularly enjoyed doing the pre-rehearsal warmup stretches, jumping jacks and breathing exercises with Brennan, Shawn and Marc.

Greater Tuna - Costume Fitting

June 13, 2017

The composite image of characters was Marc Comstock's idea. He's the director of the production (in the blue and white plaid). We did the shoot in a covered area behind the theater on a sunny New Mexico afternoon. Took a wee bit of time to bring the images together in Photoshop, but the soft light of the shade made it easier than it would have otherwise been.

Nearing sunset over the Memorial Day weekend 2017. One of my best friends was getting married the following month, and the wedding party was invited to hang out at her aunt and uncle's ranch outside of Corona, New Mexico. The flash from the muzzle brake is a fav.

Quail Hunting

November 15, 2016

Ever since I was a little kid, I've been going quail hunting with my dad, uncle and my dad's best buddy from elementary school. We hunt east of Carlsbad, New Mexico in the oil fields. It's the same area where the old AMAX Potash mine is located, where my grandpa spent more than 30 years as a foreman. Nastalgia and tradition. We love it.
