Marfa, TX  2018

My dad and I always wanted to see Donald Judd’s sculptures in Marfa and talked about it often. We never got that chance. After his funeral I decided to pass through there by myself as a way of remembering him. As I began taking photos I noticed that the angry Texas sky was reflecting on the glass behind me. These are single exposure, taken on a iPad Pro and they are not photoshopped or manipulated in any way. In a very real way I felt like my dad was there with me. I still have no idea how I was able to photograph this stuff.

My dad was a sulptor and a big influence on me. I did a video some years back about his biggest piece. Scroll down to see it. I’ll see you up the road pops...
