T
here is a starkness to the landscapes of West Texas, the rolling
rain clouds, the bright moon, the endless mountains, the
incredible rock formations. The sky is uniquely blue and the
formations often are a special red. The air has a special clarity. Nothing
explains the awesomeness more perfectly than photographs.
The ranch photos, seen on page 10, were shot using a 4x5 field
camera. Ranch folks are very hard-working people and it is a way of life
that few people get to see. In West Texas, rural living is a livelihood for
many folks. Some have been ranching or farming for generations,
while some just live a simple life working with animals and the land.
