Do not miss the sections “Friends and Neighbors” and “Dylan“.  There’s some love in these images that you don’t always see in Dan’s work.

Several years ago, fashion photographer John Wells said goodbye to New York and began an experiment in sustainability, self reliance and renewable energy. John now runs The Southwest Texas Alternative Energy and Sustainable Living Field Laboratory, located between Alpine and Terlingua, Texas. You can’t be much farther from New York … mentally, spiritually or physically.

I kinda like the image. I’m mean, really, after a long day of feeding the thousands with loaves and fishes, who wouldn’t want a smoke and a brewski?
