Well, I guess I can continue showing the raw shots from the road trip in 1953 while also discussing the issues that intrigue me about art photography.

The above is where we first encountered Mexico's vulcanism on the way down the west coast. Not far south of Tepic is the Ceboruco lava field, remnant of an extinct volcano. Here is the first place my negatives show the presence of two high school boys who traveled with us for a while. I asked them to be in the picture with Fred, because the photo without them had no scale: it was hard to see how big the boulders were.
