Close Call Beauty


Price $375 | SOLD OUT


I have what I call a morgue of photos, hundreds of photos taken clear back as a 12 year old. I found this image in a old 10 year old roll of film I came across last year, I can't discribe exactly were, but I know I could drive there if needed. This scene is in South Dakota across the Big Sioux River from Haywarden, Iowa on an old minimum maintenance road. No pavement here, it started to rain and the road turned to mud. It would have taken more than a half day to walk out an find help if I got stuck. I stopped on an old rackety bridge in celebration of making it throuh the gumbo behind me. After wiping the sweat away I looked up and this was the view. I never thought mud could be so beautiful, but it certainly is when its at your back and your looking at this view.
