Highway 33 at 7th Standard Road (October 2023), one of the centres of my photographic and videographic universe (as anyone who's seen any of my oilfield videos — e.g. Drive-by: Oilfield — will know 😀).

🚨 NEW PODCAST EPISODE
In April of 2022, 41-year-old Adolfo Vega was assaulted by two men, one of whom was a felon on probation.
As those two sat in jail, Adolfo was killed in the driveway of an abandoned home.
