"Trail End"

The sky is wide and the land almost uniformly level in western Kansas, so one has an unencumbered view of every glorious summer sunset.

I worked as the Stills Photographer on a movie-set in that wonderful prairie near the town of Dighton. Late in the day, our star Barry Corbin (Resume) was preparing for his next scene when I captured this near-silhouette. A few days later, while showing a medley of photographs to Shannan, the Writer and Director, she stopped at this one and exclaimed, "There's our poster!" Apparently, she liked it for the DVD cover as well.
