Ridgway is an old railroad town with its claim to fame being the location for True Grit. The town is framed by mountains, covered with snow today. I have the morning free before my photography workshop and wander on foot to Main Street. Today is Farmers’ Market day and I load up with fresh apples from a local orchard that remind me of apple picking days in Illinois, sourdough bread baked by a young woman who grows her own wheat (chatting with her I learn she is from Marin), and plum jam from a woman who tells me all about the filming of True Grit. Her older sister was totally smitten by Glen Campbell and John Wayne!

Workshop started today with classroom instruction on composition and lighting. Evening sunset shooting at Last Dollar Hwy where the snow covered mountain peaks were striking after a heavy afternoon thundershower.
