HI there--

   Instead of PAWing this year, I have another project.

   I started in photography about this time in 1960. By 1962 I had a vague
idea of a theme. I wished to capture the Texas Panhandle and the adjacent
areas around it. Not the Chamber of Commerce Panhandle, but >my< Panhandle,
where I grew up. It's cowboy country--a land, then, at the end of the Dust
Bowl. We still had black dusters then, and cold fronts with sustained winds
of 75 mph. When they blew through telephone lines along the Santa Fe tracks
the sound was pure Gregorian. I stayed with the same theme for more than 15
years and--truth to tell--had I some kind of grant I would gladly spend an
entire year trying to capture that area's many moods. Its beauty isn't like
that of Colorado, for instance. It doesn't jump out at you; you have to find
it. But it's there...some of it, anyway. For the next 74 days, I hope to
post one photo a day of this essay. Sadly, most of the subjects are gone. I
search for landmarks and cannot find them. Now, they are only here.
