fragua: I liberated this billboard. It was a damn cold winter night in the desert but the moon stared down at me condescendingly and said “Are you gonna fucking do this?!” I just thought “Idle No More” & “get your ass out tha car!” Long story short, I ended up with cactus in my knee cause the moon didn’t feel like lighting my way and another billboard on the notch. (at I-25, Bernalillo, NM) I actually really love the composition and quality of this photo.
