This past weekend, Carla and I drove to Santa Fe, N.M., the major point of which was to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary (about two weeks ago, actually) by attending the opening night performance of Puccini's La Bohème at the Santa Fe Opera. In 2003, we had both been supernumeraries (what would be called "extras" in a movie) in The Dallas Opera's Bohème, and so that work has had a special resonance for us every since.
But before I get to the opera proper, just one interesting shot from along the way (actually shot on the way home):
Douglas A. Kerr: Coury's General Store and Hotel, Duran, New Mexico, 2019
Canon EOS M50, EF-M 18-150 mm f/3.5-6.3 IS STM lens at 18 mm (29 mm ff35 equivalent),
ISO 100, F/8, 1/320 s
The lettering above the windows read: "DRY GOODS FURNITURE HARDWARE GROCERY & FEED`S".
Duran is a tiny crossroads in central New Mexico, originally founded as a railroad support town (for the then El Paso & Northeastern Railroad's "Arrow Route"; there was even once a roundhouse there). And in fact the Union Pacific passes through the town today; the track was about 125 feet behind my back as I took this shot.
Best regards,
Doug
