One of my biggest (absurd) regrets about my trip to Peru?
I should have bought one of those mummified llamas.

Peru, Trek Day 1
From day one of the trek, the landscape awed me. The immense size of the landforms, the richness of their texture, the vastness of the sky - all of these things still escape adequate description each time I try.
Peru, some non-instagram photos
These photos are from a peatonal/mirador cutting through Cusco. I pieced together two photos I shot (one of just roofs, one of the mountains ringing Cusco. Several years ago I did series of landscapes pieced together from numerous photos. The finished product taking on the awkward shapes made by the way in which the images did not perfectly fit together. This is a return to that mode of working. Art school habits die hard.
(I’m going through my photos from the two weeks I spent in Peru. It was a long, full, two weeks. I wish I could have stayed longer - I’m just sort of casting about now that I’m back stateside. A summer cold that won’t die has me down for the count, so at least I have photo editing to keep me busy. )
