It was July 4th and I had been shooting at a few of my favorite spots in Northern New Mexico. I was looking for an iconic shot that would represent the significance of the date. An American image, if you will. I was at Fort Union National Monument when I first saw the storm coming in from the North. After getting my shot at the monument I decided to head to a location nearby where I had previously seen a buffalo herd in a rain storm. Upon arrival at the location, the storm had grown; and luckily, the herd was present. An image truly out of "The Old West". Since then, I have not seen the buffalo at this location. A once in a lifetime shot?

Artist Statement

In expressing the narrative of “The Western Abandon” Cody Brothers concentrates his focus on abandoned farms, crumbling homes, neglected churches, aging cemeteries, forgotten cars and other objects, set within the vastness of the southwestern landscape. He works almost entirely with infrared film, using a range of different cameras, from a 4x5, a 6x17 panoramic, to a pinhole.
