I’m drawn to the desert of West Texas – it’s in my blood, but it’s not home. That doesn’t mean that I’m not homesick for it. The theme song from the movie Paris, Texas, Cancion Mixteca, really captures what I’m feeling. Here’s the rough translation:
I feel so much for my home
Land of the sun I'm sighing to see you
Now I'm far away I live without light, without love
Here I am alone and sad like a leaf on the wind
I want to cry I want to die,
I feel so much for my home
I’ve tried to capture this feeling in these images. It’s a land of extreme contrasts and a sometimes harsh beauty.
