. . . a project reminiscent of Richard Avedon’s project “In the American West” (Here’s the link to find out more about Richard Avedon: wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Avedon).Avedon’s project took about 5 years to complete and was funded by Mr. Amon Carter (as in the Amon Carter Museum in Fort Worth). This project is limited to one or two days and that number is dependent on the weather. More importantly, it is self-funded.
Weather permitting, we will set up somewhere in the Ghost Town. We are open to suggestions as to specific settings where we could set up our equipment. The subjects must be photographed in shade, and we will be shooting in the late afternoon with specific times provided at a later date. Check the “Our Terlingua” Facebook page for details. If the wind isn’t blowing, we will have a white backdrop as part of the set up. This shoot will take place late in the afternoon of May 7th and/or 8th. We will take 4 to 5 imagesof each individual. The primary goal of this project is to produce a body of work about individuals who live and work in Terlingua and to share that imagery with those that have not experienced this unique environment. This project is NOT designed to exploit the residents of Terlingua in any way. I have two goals. First, I would like to create a collection that may be displayed in a gallery, art center or museum. Second, a fine art photo book about the Big Bend area is also a possibility. It is likely I will return to continue the project for historical purposes in November. I am generally in the area twice a year shooting landscapes.
We won’t give any direction as to how we want you to look. Wear the clothes you would normally wear and pose in any manner you choose. If you want to jump up in the air, feel free to do so. If you want your back to the camera, you can do that. If you play a guitar, strum all you like. For your participation, you will receive a 10” X 15” black and white print centered on a 13” X 19” sheet of archival fine art paper. The portrait you will receive is signed, dated and titled (your name) and there is no charge for either participating or receiving the print (not even postage). The photographer and associate will determine which image will be used for the project from the images taken of you during the session, and that image will be the one you will receive via mail. You will need to sign a consent form and provide a mailing address. If you are under the age of 18, you will need a parent to sign your consent form. We would also like to know something about how you got to Terlingua, why you stay, and any other information you would like to share.More information will be made available as we get closer to the date via the Our Terlingua Facebook page. If you have any questions/concerns please feel free to email me at tvcockerham@yahoo.com.
Thanks in advance for those of you that decide to participate.

Elsa is an Australian Cattle Dog mix who is quite a listener - she looks to humans for direction, and is ready to bond by having adventures together. Elsa is a 30 to 35-lb youngish dog, with perky, mismatched ears (they may be on their way to standing up!). An intelligent breed, she'll do best in a home that interacts with her and gives her exercise (normal-dog daily heaven of a walk/run/hike/bike with her person and possibly some other dog pals.) She's alert and ready for fun, but also deeply satisfied sitting close and getting a chest or ear rub. Elsa is spayed, microchipped, and up to date on all shots.The Alpine Animal Shelter is open M-F from 10am to 6pm (closed 1-2pm) and by appointment on the weekends, located on the east side of Alpine on Old Marathon Road.

Marfa Live Arts Brings Mexican-American Story
to the Crowley Stage on Tuesday
Marfa Live Arts’ 2016 playwright-in-residence Raul Garza presents his play Confessions of a
Mexpatriate on Tuesday, April 19, at the Crowley Theater at 7.30pm (doors at 7pm.) Actor and comedian Mical Trejo will perform the show with musician Davíd Garza playing live score.
Confessions of a Mexpatriate follows the journey of amuel, a modern-day, media-minded Mexican-American who travels to Mexico to try to unplug from his American side and connect with his roots in the land of his ancestors. His account of what happens is both funny and fearful—and may say as much about the land he left behind as the one he has entered. This will be Mical Trejo’s seventh time on stage bringing Garza’s character Samuel to life with past
performances in the US and Mexico in Austin, Chicago, Albuquerque, Santa Fe, and San Miguel. Trejo is active in the theater scene in Austin with St. Edwards University, Latino Comedy Project, and Hyde Park Theatre.
Playwright Garza, a National Latino Playwriting Awardee, found his inspiration for the play during a four-week writing residency in Oaxaca, Mexico. He says, “When a lot of Mexican Americans go to Mexico, I think they see the layers separate. Here in the U.S., it’s like you’re this mezcla of both culturas. When you go down there you can really separate this and say, ‘This is the American side of your brain; this is the Mexican side.’ You see where they conflict and where they complement.”
During his time in Marfa Raul will also teach Marfa Live Arts 6th Annual Playwriting Workshop with Marfa High School students April 18-22. His work with Marfa Live Arts in collaboration with Marfa Independent School District is the primary reason Garza will be in Marfa. He will work one-on-one with students in their English classes helping them write their own plays. He says of his upcoming work with the youth in Marfa, “I’m looking forward to experiencing the empowerment that comes with telling your unique story in your own voice. I can’t wait to see the students discover this for themselves.” Plays written by Marfa students during the Playwriting Workshop
will be performed by area actors and staged at the Crowley Theater on Tuesday, May 3, 2016.
On April 18, 2016 at 6:30pm, tune into Marfa Public Radio for a West Texas Talk interview with playwright Raul Garza, actor Mical Trejo, and musician Davíd Garza. Next month, listen for a live interview with Marfa High School student playwrights on May 2, 2016 at 6:30pm.
Confessions of A Mexpatriate will be free and open to the community.
Kyle Petty's Victory Junction Charity Ride will be in the Big Bend on May 2nd and 3rd. 200 riders expected. They are staying at Lajitas. Route from Lajitas to San Antonio as they leave on the 4th is unknown. I'm sure we'll all provide them with our Big Bend hospitality to ensure the ride is successful.
