How do my photos differ from Walter De Maria's The Adventures of Mr. Ball? Are they simply the same person and motorcycle in exotic surroundings before returning home unchanged? Any relevance to these photos will be in the contextual details--our aging, our grime, my relaxing, character building, trying new things, and discarding obsolete ideas. I would rather return home worse for wear than unchanged.

Bisbee became my new favorite town in the U.S., and potential future retirement spot, on 10 April 2023. As you will see in these photos, the town has a beautiful location, a critical mass of local artists, nearly every home contributes to the town's historic and colorful character, and it is as yet unspoiled by commercialism, consumerism, or mansions. Add to that a warm climate, sunny days, and a breeze through the canyon.

The artist is a receptacle for emotions that come from all over the place: from the sky, from the earth, from a scrap of paper, from a passing shape, from a spider's web.
