Wrapped up my first pop up session, huge thank you to everyone that came out!!!! Time to plan the next one (at Mudsmith)

American tragedy - h/t @mitch_epstein ・・・ "The truth is, the establishment of Bears Ears National Monument was a healing moment of historic importance. A unique agreement was reached between Indian tribes and the United States government for a collaborative approach to the management of Bears Ears. It was a clasp of hands across history. It was also about America looking into the deep future rather than into the narrow exhaust pipe of today. It was about drilling for hope and dignity, rather than fossil fuels. But now Bears Ears could very well become another Standing Rock in both desecration and resistance — the latest example of a new colonialism, with the government bulldozing Indian sovereignty and privileging Big Oil.” - Terry Tempest Williams (@ttwillet ) editorial in @nytimes
