It's Spring here in New Zealand... that means road trip time! Cameras are charged and drones are nearly self-aware. All is good.
This is a stretch of US 60 between Socorro, NM and Springerville, AZ. I took a series of photos through the windshield with my trusty Canon S90 (I wasn't driving at the time!). This is a favorite because it really portrays that section of NM.
I'm about to take a photo road trip across New Zealand for 3-4 weeks to visit new and old places, especially now that we have no one in the hospital with Covid-19 and five days with no new cases. It seems pretty safe to explore. I'll start here in Wanaka and meander my way up to the North Island. My plan is to visit little nooks and crannies all the way that I've never seen... from the fjords up to everything from volcanoes to black sand beaches. I've loaded up about 10 audiobooks and will probably be offline for a while.

Mudeford (/m^difərd/ MUD-i-fərd) is a harbourside and beach-side parish based on an ex-fishing village in the east of Christchurch, Dorset, England (historically in Hampshire), fronting water on two sides: Christchurch Harbour and the sands of Avon Beach.

together we shared..i learnt to cook...surprising meals..when u went to fish..n the night u woke me after the barbecue..n sat there as i had dinner.. watching me.. the ride to the show ..the fast speedy ride

Metallica: Nothing Else Matters
-----------------------
So close, no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
And nothing else matters
Never opened myself this way
Life is ours, we live it our way
All these words, I don't just say
And nothing else matters
Trust I seek and I find in you
Every day for us something new
Open mind for a different view
And nothing else matters
Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know
But I know
So close, no matter how far
It couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
And nothing else matters
Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know
But I know
I never opened myself this way
Life is ours, we live it our way
All these words, I don't just say
And nothing else matters
Trust I seek and I find in you
Every day for us something new
Open mind for a different view
And nothing else matters
Never cared for what they say
Never cared for games they play
Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know
And I know, yeah, yeah
So close, no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
No, nothing else matters

On a recent trip up to the Lake District I took a detour to explore this wonderful scene.

Two views of Sorrento from our boat trip. The beach huts caught my eye here. The lift from the Villa Comunale park down to the Marina Piccola was somewhere near here, just to the right.
ここは、ポツダムにあるサンスーシーの裏にある場所です。
レンガ作りの家々を、暗い視線でとらえるのがとても楽しい。
This is where the back of the Sanssouci in Potsdam.
Great fun it is to catch a dark line of sight, the houses of brick.
The photography trip is a selfish journey whose narrative is embedded in the reflexivity of its images.
We should distinguish trip art from everyday art. Our skills, intuition, and luck can yield decent, spontaneous, everyday art. But this is all practice for the creative tornado of trip art.
Most have tripped, but fewer have realized it was happening. The trick is to go with the flow.
My photography trips have ranged from catastrophic to paranormal. On one extreme, I recall 3 hours in NYC at Times Square not getting one decent shot. On the other, I recall a roll of Fuji Velvia film on my Vivitar Ultra Wide & Slim trashcam, taken while driving randomly through Phoenix, that turned out to be one of my most rewarding photography moments.
The trip was planned, by circumstance and Mary’s grace. I didn’t know until afterwards that it started the day before, at Tio’s Taco’s. The recycled art of Martin Sanchez featured at Tio’s left me touched, inspired, and psyched. Never had I experienced a mashup of religious icons and kitsch like Martin’s.
And then, the Salton Sea.
