Adam Fedderly shot this is Marfa, Texas. I recognize the truck, a swb Dodge...I'd say from the late Seventies. I like how the colors work in this photograph. Reminds me of the way street colors start to pop after crossing the border into, say, Ojinaga.  For some reason I spent a lot of time this winter taking photographs of pretty much every 1973-87 Chevrolet/GMC truck in Marfa. I'm not used to taking pictures. A sort of mania took hold: taking a photograph is a lot like asserting ownership, isn't it? An appetite that grows the more you feed it. I started feeling manic hunger to document--devour?-- every last truck.  Definitely a possessive, not to say aggressive, instinct. Just one isn't enough;
have to get them ALL.
