About the photographer: I have always had a love for photography. At a young age started taking pictures of family. I took photography classes at Cambridge Community College in Cambridge, MN. I placed 2nd place in a PHI Theta Kappa National Convention in Kansas City, Mo. I moved to West Texas in 1995 and have taken many local photographs of our community and the Big Bend area. My photographs are on display at the Marathon Coffee Shop and Purple Sage Antiques in Marathon, Tx. e-mail crltownsend@yahoo.com
