I photographed the beautifully restored Durango’s old Strater Hotel, which dates back to the 1880s, early in the morning, when the light was low and warm. The shadows are deep at the time of the day, and the hotel and its adjoining structures rise up from them as if from time itself. Yet the brilliant red color of the hotel kept us in the “now.” So I decided to convert this image to black and white. The hotel now looks as if nothing has changed over the years – nothing at all.
