end of the day refuel

day 3: colorado & kansas

that night we stopped at a gas station in colorado near the colorado/kansas border. it was the end of a very long day for us.

and who says you need fancy photo studio lighting when there's gas stations with lighting like this one?

this travel series is just fantastic.

what do you think of the mamiya6? i considered one and ended up going with a hasselblad instead, but i can't help thinking that i may pick one up at some stage....
