Young man in Silver City, New Mexico.

Card player in Gila, New Mexico, whom I found sitting outside a farmers’ market. He was proud of the Minolta film camera and lenses he still owned. I can identify with that, at least with Canon and Nikon film cameras!

A good friend of mine many years ago. I’m not sure who the person is that was with him. The camera was a Contax RTS II with  a Carl Zeiss 50mm f1.4 lens.

This young man was in town to attend a convention of hippies in a nearby national forest. I’d have liked to have gone there to shoot, but couldn’t get any idea of where it actually was! In some parts of New Mexico, it really is a step back in time.
