Small dried golden brown chamisa petals in sharp midrange focus in a sea of blur. In the late summer of 2011, I walked for days through fields & along the roadway by my home, one of the remaining small sections of Route 66. I was collecting the tiny dried brown blossoms of the chamisa flower. I had in mind to use them in some handmade papers, made by my niece who is a wonderful hand-crafted book artist. It took almost three weeks with a Croghan folding camp saw, used as a thresher, allowing the petals & some twigs to fall into large freezer bags. Needless to say, there were a lot of people along old Route 66 craning their necks trying to figure out what I was doing as they sped by in Time. This image was made at that same time to accompany the actual suspended petals in an assemblage/collage. I was working on a series of digital composite images at the time called “Vestiges.” It was one of the most fun in years, for I could use most any imagery I wanted that was in the public domain. It was in the realm of photo-montage & in actuality was all digital. I began with a base idea of using film negatives from all eras of photographic and filmic history, welded into a mindstream, a nearly visible “current” which was streaming the small image past you. As a paired series forms in my mind, I planned to use handmade paper as both a substrate & torn materials combined with many of the film images in the digitally produced “vestiges” works. The chamisa flowers were meant for that purpose. While I did ship some large bags to Birmingham to my niece & a few weeks later received about 40 sheets of incredibly intriguing chamisa paper back, I never went forward with the sandwiched collages. A move to Arizona was emerging & all things began to gravitate in that direction. The “Vestiges” works gave birth to the Hybrid series, as did the “Chamisa Collage” works, which both are still on the idea planks of my mind for weaving together in a similar fashion in a year or so.

A Santa Fe Railroad sign rises from this side of the tracks, a narrow dirt service road between it and the crushed rock trackbed. Closer to you is a medium-sized chamisa swaying in the cold, brisk wind. Its colors are fading as it's late fall, to pale green. Its blooms beginning to turn clay yellow. The earth is the deep red of the Pecos region, and in the distance are some homes from the 1970's. The sky in the far distance is a rich azure, clouds above you are light gray. Just off I-25 is an exit to Rowe and Pecos. Rowe seems to me a high desert Brigadoon. There is age there; there is a sense of living in an amorphous act of Time. There was a day when I took over 800 photographs there, pretty much in one yard, a couple of close friends. This is one of five photographs I've published from that day's shoot. New Mexico has these eddies that you can drive into and need to decompress from 2025, so that you don't get the bends from the altered state of being. Seriously, you can see very old things here, still touch things that existed far before your presence on the Earth, and the Earth will call of things for you to experience, to see, to hear. It's small, and real, and very, very beautiful.

Chamisa, a very small brilliant yellow flower on what can grow to be a very large shrub in the Four Corners area. Here, you see it in its splendor, a rich deep yellow to almost a brilliant lemon yellow intensity. The small fragile flowers are in the foreground, while the rest of the chamisa is receding into deep blur while the dark olive, cedar greens and dark browns of the tree trunks form the background. This was a summertime shot made in Pojoaque, New Mexico.
