In the pitch-darkness of night, the author has stopped at a gas station to refuel before a return trip from Red Rocks to Boulder, CO. The photo taken at that gas station depicts a bright red glow from a ‘LIQUOR’ sign, the faint glow of refrigerated windows filled with beverages inside the station, and a few overhead lights illuminating a trash can and empty parking lot as the eye follows the slanted roof of the station.

My decade-long friend Malcolm sits on his couch in Boulder, CO playing a p bass. On the right side of the frame is a lamp and in the foreground is a coffee table with an array of object: chess board, Mountain Gazzette, can of beer, headphones, cereal bowl, lighter, iphone.

A close-up photo of a long slab of red rock, strips whiter rock and redder rock layered together like a cake. In the background, less in focus, is the continuation of a trail, and beyond it a see of trees.

In the early hours of the morning, just as the sun crests over the horizon to cast a faint pink hue on the skyline, a photo is taken through a frame of trees. It captures a building on the Boulder campus, clay brick and red clay shingles.

I picture of a few blue/violet flows in focus, behind them a ridgeline and to the right the continuation of dirt path.
