"In 1997,sheryl and I departed on a trip to big bend national park. the experience was something I hope to tell my grandchildren some day. I will tell them how I hauled my girlfriend to some of the most unforigven country in the dead of winter. the aventure proved to be a turning point in our relationship as we acclimated with the surroundings and ourselves. the series of landscape vignettes is my distance reflection of that time with sheryl and how much it enriched our understanding of one another."
