On the Road


On the road to Marfa Texas for the Chinati Foundation's 25th Museum anniversary weekend. On Saturday and Sunday the Chinati permanent collection and Donald Judd's Marfa home and his three studio spaces will be open to the public for free self guided tours. I don't know a lot about Donald Judd and the Chinati Foundation and in a way I don't want to know to much and let the element of surprise take over.
This trip will also be a dry run for a future project of photographing America. Instead of trying to photograph “The Real America” by searching the back roads and out of the way places of the past I want to travel the interstates which means I will probably end up photographing a lot of Fast Food eateries. First stop, Vegas.
