Much new work is coming from my project on the Rio Grande / Rio Bravo. In September, I photographed the border fence from the historic Don Juan de Onate crossing near Sunland, New Mexico down to the Lower Valley of El Paso near Fort Quitman. Most of these images are on my website archive under the Rio Grande – El Paso gallery.

Since then, I’ve been working on triptychs of these images for exhibition, creating fifteen in the process. One of these, Border Fence and Ditches, Fabens, TX, was chosen for the upcoming People’s Gallery 2010 exhibit at Austin’s City Hall. Framed 60 x 28, the are individual images 11 x 16 1/2. The print is make on my 12 color HP Z3100 archival pigment printer on 265 gsm 100% Hahnemuhle rag paper.
