The Old Guard and the New

from $35.00

This is a scene I was hunting for across the Texas Panhandle—a single frame that tells a story of time and technology. I am always inspired by finding examples of old tech next to new, and this field was a perfect example.

This photograph captures that moment of juxtaposition. In the foreground, a classic, multi-bladed windmill (the Old Guard) stands against a bright blue sky. In the background, a farm of sleek, modern wind turbines (the New) stretches across the horizon. It's a clear portrait of the prairie's past and present, both harnessing the same unchanging wind.

A signature piece from "The Open Land" chapter of "The Great American Roadtrip" collection, this print is a story of continuity on the American prairie.

Print & Medium

This photograph is all about the bright, clear light of the Texas Panhandle and the vibrant color contrast between the blue sky and the green prairie. The details of the windmills, both old and new, are sharp and distinct. A fully matte paper would dull the scene's vibrancy.

Therefore, my premium paper choice is the Hahnemühle FineArt Baryta Satin. Its subtle satin-gloss finish is well-regarded for rendering deep, rich colors (like the blue sky) while keeping fine details (like the windmill blades) crisp and sharp, without any distracting glare.

"The Old Guard and the New" is available in sizes up to 24x30 inches. Please contact me directly for custom sizes, framing, or other medium requests.
