At some point during the night, I realized that at 34 years-old I was twice the age of most of the kids in these photos.

Wow some things sure have changed since I was in school. Has it been that long? I lived for in a large house shared with two friends, and our combined rent was less than a room in these small boxes. Granted, the house was in a state of disrepair, with our friends often falling through the rotten wood backyard patio during our frequent BBQ’s and parties, but that helped build character.

These pictures were made on assignment for The Chronicle of Higher Education, an excellent publication that I’m excited to work with again in the future.

Four years

The Albuquerque Tribune published it’s final edition on this day four years ago.

“The Albuquerque Tribune has been a provider of insight, an elbow in the ribs, and yes, a kick in the pants ever since it began as Magee’s Independent in 1922. Today, The Trib bids the city it loves a fond farewell – confident that in its rollicking, 86-year run, it made a difference.”

Hard to imagine it’s been four years. In some ways, it feels like many more years and in others if fells like just yesterday. Regardless, I miss it and the faces above more than I can possibly say here, so I’ll just leave it at that.

I never pass on a free ticket to ride the Tram to the top of Sandia Peak here in Albuquerque.
