Last month, around New York, on yet another expired roll of 35mm film. I dropped off this film at the lab in Brooklyn, with time to spare, but, one week later missed the pickup time buy minutes, as my train from Manhattan was racked with delays. As my schedule these days allows only a weekly trip to Brooklyn, this put me behind considerably. Daylight Savings Time has come into effect since then, we have “sprung forward.” Since these photos were taken, springlike temperatures even crept into a couple days a couple weeks ago, and, though I’m certainly not one to shy away from cold-weather photography, I can understand the photographic draw of places like the American southwest, with its mild temperatures and ample sunlight, and the romance of its vast spaces.
