Valley view in black and white, Rockhound State Park, Deming NM, February 20, 2008
To continue this little experimental series of versions of this photo, here's one in black and white. I think I like the sepia from yesterday better - it seems more in keeping with the natural desert hues. See the original one in color on the February 20th page.

Ask What Surprised Them
I was afraid of flying for a long time and could only travel vicariously. When friends came back from faraway places, it wasn't just out of politeness that I asked what they saw. I really wanted to know. And I found the best way to get information out of them was to ask what surprised them. How was the place different from what they expected? This is an extremely useful question. You can ask it of the most unobservant people, and it will extract information they didn't even know they were recording.
