A new home again
One of my friends thought it absurd I would be spending the next decade or so in one place. She contended that I had moved my whole life, never spent more than 4 years in one place, and certainly never consecutively.
I remember a guy who’s house I stayed at in Amarillo when headed back to Santa Fe on my bike. He had a great technical and artistic knowledge of photography, was non-pretentious, and laid back. When I asked him about living in Amarillo modestly in light of all his travels and photos from off the beaten track he said as long as he gets to go away for a month or two every year, he doesn’t care that he lives in a bland and boring place like Amarillo. He had people he cared about there, he’d made a home. But he sure as hell made sure he left it each year.
