Toward Medicine Hat

Gritty southwestern Americana.  Seems a companion piece (likely the same woman?) to a photograph of yours that is one of my all-time favorites (the one where the woman is pulling the shirt up over her head as a trailer goes past along the highway in the background).  Seen large, I love the grain and the sense of that vast southwestern sky. 

It reminds me of something I am sure I haven't lived!

...

Perhaps it has something to do with that apple!

I like the composition of this image, the way the clouds ascend in the direction she is looking, it produces a nice flow to keeps us engaged in this artistic presentation.  

Esta vez te escribo en mi (¿nuestro?) idioma. La composición es fantástica, una foto difícil de hacer por los altos contrastes bajo la luz directa del sol, sin embargo el resultado final es muy bueno, excelente diría yo.

Y también creo que ha sido tomada en el mismo momento y lugar de aquella otra foto (maravillosa) donde esta hermosa mujer intenta quitarse la remera mientras un remolque pasa por la ruta detrás de ella.

Lo siento, son demasiadas sutilezas del lenguaje que no sé traducir con mi pobre manejo del inglés.  Como sea, mis felicitaciones, esta imagen va derechito a mi Favorite Folder.

I know it probably makes no sense whatsoever, but there is something very Dutch about this photo - the clouds, the flat land and distant horizon. It's just a strange connection popping up in my head, and actually has zero to do with the quality of this portrait, apart from a highly effective use of this Dutch-like surrounding.

But most of all, it's a very striking portrait, great composition.

Beautiful. 

Knowing how you connect images to lyrics, this one made me recall the words to "Child of the Wild Blue Yonder" by  John Hiatt.  An old fav of mine. ~~~~L

A mirage model's grace, her black tee shirt with that crunchy apple. Horizon, infinity and those marvelous clouds travelling to eternity.  My man Carlos, your work has a different dimension in terms creative quality... superb! 

This is really good, Carlos! How are you?

Abraço ,
