Separ, New Mexico

Separ is a small collection of crumbling buildings next to a

truckstop in southern New Mexico. One hundred years ago, it was a

mustering point for cavalry soldiers on their way to support General

Pershing's punitive expedition into Mexico against Pancho Villa. How

times change...

Thanks for your comments and ratings.

Nice image. I think the brightness in the foreground is hiding the framed plant in the BG a bit. Not sure if I would burn the foreground a bit or not. I really like the feel of the image and I am not sure if 'messing' with burning would hinder the emotion of it.

I am in the Rate Recent Kiosk and can't see any details. What was this shot with? Thanks... Dave

Dave, this was shot with a Mamiya C330f twin lens reflex and the 55mm lens, using a Hoya R72 filter and Ilford SFX 200.

Thanks for the comments so far. Looking at this now, I can see that the scan was a little flat; the print shows a lot better. I think I need to upgrade my flatbed scanner when I get home from Kuwait.
