This is more than one more project.

Albuquerque, New Mexico

Maybe we are not fully conscious yet of what we are about to do. It may look like one more project, one more photo, one more video. But to me, it is much more than that. It means bringing together people from different places who chose to believe in this. We are not chasing something personal. We are chasing something collective: to tell a story, to make presence in a place that, 250 years ago, carried another name. Now we are about to become part of that history. To create an image, a memory, a testimony that did not exist before, and that can travel forward to the next generations. That we were there. That the charro was there. That the vaquero was there. That the woman on horseback was there. That the escaramuza was there.

Coffee means the day is beginning.

Albuquerque, New Mexico morning coffee stop

As a kid, I never imagined coffee would mean something more than drinking something bitter and dark. Over time, coffee became the signal that the day is beginning. And on days like today, it is the signal that a new adventure is beginning.
