Coming back from 8th grade graduation at Fields School in Oregon. A storm passing over Denio Summit stopped me for a quick photo before darkness.

When fall gathering begins, everyone - even the youngest - gets on horseback.

Often in winter one side of the mountain is in fog, and one is not. I knew there was pogonip at the time at Bog Hot, and I offered the guys a free dinner at Denio if they would take their horses and model. Most viewers want to know why there are four cowboys in the water, and three horses.

My friend Susan worked with me for years in the studio matting and framing uncountable numbers of photographs. In the midst of this, one morning, she said, "Look out the window." I grabbed my camera with my 80-200mm lens, stepped out from the house and captured this scene. This picture is in memory of Susan Moore.
Linda Dufurrena photographs alll aspects of life in her desert corner of Nevada. She finds her subject matter in the landscape, and in the everchanging patterns of the desert atmosphere. She photographs the creatures who inhabit the wild spaces, and the men and women who live and work there. Her vision of the world is translated into photographic image in her workshop at the Dufurrena ranch northwest of Winnemucca, Nevada.
