The Native Texans project offers an anthropological study of the bleak but aesthetic beauty of everyday scenes along roadways of far West Texas. The images capture the coexistence of natural features with “native,” man-made disturbances. Far West Texas represents a union of rugged landscape and big sky that investigates this visual vernacular as a product of culture and environment blending. I have explored, documented, and displayed the Trans-Pecos region by photographing the landscape that continues to shape the people who live there.
