Santa Fe New Mexican journalist Nico Roesler interviewed book founder Rick Carver in a recent issue of the paper.
In the article, Roesler emphasizes the mission of the book, to raise funds for the Esperanza Shelter, following a 35% decrease in funding over the past two years. The article also recognizes what distinguishes the book from other photo books about New Mexico: the focus on the reality of life, from a locked gate on the border with Mexico to a cowboy captured mid-buck, catching air above the back of a bull at the rodeo.
