winter IS here

My exhibition is up and my residency is about to end.  I have about 2 months left.  Time goes so quickly and I can’t believe that this will end soon…  Well, it was the incredible year and I have no regrets.

Anyway, I am trying to work as much as I can before I leave this place.  I have two more projects I want to finish. One of them is the on-going Hubbit project.  Right now I am shooting in front of oil pump about 20 miles out of Roswell.  It is a beautiful location with many antelopes running in the field. I am shooting at sunrise, which is one of the most beautiful time of the day.  But the thing is that winter is here and it is extremly cold… yes, I am in desert climate.  And I am wearing Hubbit costume, which is one long sleeve cotton shirt and thin white tights…  I feel almost naked. Yesterday I went out there to shoot and it was 24F.  The weather forecast said it was 24 but felt like 19F.  It did feel like 19F.  By the time I finished the shoot, my legs were numb and I couldn’t feel a thing…  I hope that pictures will come out good so that I don’t need to go back so many times.
