larry mcmurtry has been my favorite author for as long as i can remember, and few people have shaped the way i see and love texas quite like he did.

some scenes from his hometown of archer city, a place that still feels an awful lot like the texas he wrote about. ❤️

this little ghost town sits at the end of a texas highway that dead ends at a bridge you can’t cross. the catch? most of the town is just across the river in mexico and getting there requires a three hour detour. i took these from the bridge and the river but i hope to get to that church before it’s gone 🥲

big news y’all, i got a grant!!! 🤠

from the bottom of my heart, thank you to A3 Art Alliance Austin for awarding me a micro-grant to continue working on texas textures, a project i’ve been working on for the last 15 years.

that work has taken me all over texas, photographing rural communities, overlooked places, freedom colonies, hispanic communities along the texas-mexico border, and all the little places in between that make this giant, weird, beautiful state what it is.

this grant means more miles, more film, more tiny towns, and more time spent building my photographic archive of texas - all while getting me one (big) step closer to publishing my third photo book!

beyond the funding itself, there’s something pretty dang special about someone looking at this thing i’ve poured so much of myself into and saying, “hey, this matters and you should keep going.” so that’s exactly what i’m gonna do!

thank you, austin art alliance, for believing in texas textures and helping me keep this little dream of mine rolling down the highway. 💌
