Thank you both for the kind words…and yes more to come. Simply shifting the lens from southern Colorado to northern New Mexico for awhile!

I have seen many of these on Instagram, and I’d have a hard time saying which one is my favorite. You have captured the beauty of the southwest and its people. The pictures make me even more glad that I live here, and I hope you keep them coming.

Lovely, evocative work! as mw wrote, a nice ‘balance between the beauty and the harshness’. Love your use of colour & light too. There is a freshness/looseness that i enjoy here, it gives the work a sort of immediacy (also well edited/good sequence). Well done & Congratulations!
Cheers, Sam

These thoughts, ideas and insights are what i will carry with me as I continue this work forward.

as David would say – Grist for the Mill!

I was also delighted to see that the essay made TIME’s lightbox yesterday under photojournalismlinks. Very honored.

Thank you. Jeremy

Although I’m not from the west, I visit northern New Mexico often. It has become my spiritual home. This is a fine, even poetic essay that transports me there….with the cadence of a smooth cantor. Much enjoyed this with my morning coffee.

Jeremy, due to sporadic and weak internet access, this is my first visit to Burn in days. I just lit up when I saw your opening picture. As one who was also hatched and reared in the west, I’d say you’ve got it about as good as is possible to get in 30 pictures. I love this. I simply love it.

Superb. Well done. Tag on any other complimentary accolade you would like and that applies, too.

There are also some I’ve not seen before. Awesome stuff. These iphone pics print beautifully btw. My son has just finished a show of iphone pics at a local gallery. We printed them about 15×15 on a 20×20 overall.

Congratulations for appearing here.

Also the beat of those images, which some look like very loose, and others so crisp and clear.
Very nice.

This essay is refreshing change from the usual landscape work one usually sees about the west. The iphone really gives it a looser approach, kinda reminds me of the difference between how Robert Frank and other street photographers of his generation worked.
I wish you the very best and hope you keep on living and loving this mythical land.
Cheers Paul

He shows a lot of great images on instagram…but to see many of them together here as a collection is even better! Good work Jeremy! Very strong essay.Love it!

Jeremy, I have seen most of these in your instagram feed but some I don’t recall ever seeing. At least I do not remember seeing.
It works as an essay so well….and in this context or I should say in a different context works perfect.
Much better than the tiny screen of an iPhone.
I very much feel the same as MW. There is a nice balance here…not how MW put it but the overall feeling as a whole from beginning to end. It has a good pace. It flows….
You really made it your american west. Congratulations!
