Near the heart of the dustbowl, a crooked house slants towards its demise. I wonder if another dust bowl may catch us unawares. I have a picture of this house two weeks short of a year previous to this image. The fields around it were green, and white clouds punctuated a blue sky. But now, in 2020, red dirt punctuates faded grass stubble of the year before. Homesteaders must have been sick at heart when the dry years began.

Every time I try to describe what "type" of photographer I am, or what photography "means", I find the words are as fleeting as the perfect moment of light on a scene. I'm a native daughter of Michigan, now living in New Mexico. The two places are like apples and oranges. I love them both.
