More a memory, than a photo. I was on the far side of the town, and thought I heard a drum beat, which I then followed through the afternoon rain.
I eventually stumbled upon the drum and xylophone band. Resonating beats and ethereal chimes echoes from the jungle-covered volcanoes.
A Spanish-era colonial mission in ruins in the background. I sat and listened, watched.

Picked this up after riding on the back of Hda's Honda90 across the Moroccan desert. Felt inspired.

Behind my desk.
Many years ago, walked into a gallery in Austin. Saw a worn fence. Walked closer. Saw ceramic devils hanging from it. Closer inspection showed letterforms (!) on their bellies. They happened to spell out one of my favorite expressions: The Road To Hell Is Paved With Good Intentions. Art by Edmo which I traded for some cash (not much) and a copy of my book (which he wanted). The discolored candy bracelet? That's another story.

Hda Marouche | within minutes of him bringing me to his village, Hda was proudly showing the village's canal, with its many family gardens. A mechanic in Rissani, hours to the west, he returns to the village on weekends help wife, children, and parents. His parents were nomads that settled at this oasis in 1966, coming in from the dunes.

Dr. Jean Andrews, Marc at the University of Texas Physics Department annual reception at the Texas Memorial Museum.
Jean is otherwise known as "the pepper lady" (look her up) and I'm fortunate enough to have escorted her to many a function.
Author of 14 books, she's visited more than 120 countries and at 81, when this photo was taken, could run circles around folks half,
or quarter her age. She calls me a "boy," and considering the salt that's getting in my pepper, I'll take it.

Newspaper Rock. Petroglyphs spanning thousands of years include historic ones (horse with rider
using a bow; wagon wheel), as well as the more contemporary bullet hole and graffitti. The majority are
of Fremont style (horned shaman), along with Archaic marks (curvilinear "abstract" patterns).

Rebecka English likes mohawks and nerds. Says her dad is not a nerd, therefore cut his hair into a mohawk.
Of course it was only 2/3s of a 'hawk, as one has to factor in the bald spot. Photo by Nils Juul-Hansen. Contact sheet from the New Year '97 shots by Bill Albrecht, part of the Out with the Old, In With the New series.

Bookplate I made for Rebecka's 18th birthday: old enough to start really building her own library. Letterpress courtesy of Michael Osborne and One Heart Press, San Francisco. I cut the linoleum at about 8"x8" and reduced the art for a final 3"x3" plate.
