PLACE
To the farthest west of Texas, beyond the Pecos River, is Trans Pecos Texas, the bent elbow of the state. Forming only a part of the whole of Texas, the Trans Pecos defies the basic laws of geometry, seemingly outsizing by itself the whole of Texas combined. Part 1 of the series explores the people of Trans Pecos, and Part 2 explores the seemingly endless land that forms the backdrop to daily Trans Pecos life.
SNEAK PEEK
To the farthest west of Texas, beyond the Pecos River, is Trans Pecos Texas. And at the farthest western reaches of the Trans Pecos lies the city of El Paso, a city that wears its Mexican roots unapologetically on its sleeve, as much Latin American as any other kind of American. Take a sneak peak sneak peek of the work in progress.

INTRODUCTION TO JAMES H. EVANS, A PHOTOGRAPHER YOU SHOULD KNOW
River Road Panoramic 3
James H. Evans may be from West Virginia by way of New Jersey and Philadelphia, but he is 100% Far West Texan. He arrived in the Big Bend area of the Trans Pecos in 1988, and he has spent his days ever since exhaustively capturing the place in photographs. His photography ranges from high key color portraiture of the local fauna, to Robert Frank-esque documentarian black and white, to panoramic landscapes encapsulating in the finite frame the seeming infinity of the place.
You can find more information on James H. Evans here, and you can buy his wonderful book, Crazy from the Heat, on Amazon.
