2024 was a challenging year for me. My years seem to alternate between good years and bad years. I’ve been working to reframe how I view the bad years recently. In the bad years I learn the hardest lessons, have the most personal growth, and take the best steps to prepare myself and shore up resources for the coming year. In the good years I coast on the good vibes… and fail to learn the lessons that will give me a good upcoming year.

I’m hoping that this cycle holds and that 2025 is going to be a good year. But with the Earth’s global surface temperature rising rapidly and the rightward shift of US politics that accompanies it, sometimes it feels like there might be less and less good years ahead of us. As always, the only thing we can truly do in this life is to hold each other tight.

In that spirit, west coast homies I’m coming for you soon on another Alex Walter early-90’s econobox adventure! I’d love to see you and catch up and make dinner for you! I’m selling another run of prints to help pay for my gas money and the inevitable roadside car repairs I’ll inevitably have to do. After having a very tender season back in Kentucky in the Red River Gorge, I’ve been feeling grateful for my chosen home and all the beautiful people in it. Pictures one and two are some of my favorite shots I’ve taken there, and pictures 3 and 4 are older prints I did last year that I need to clear out.

Picture 1 is 6×9, picture 2, 3, and 4 are 8×10. All are deep matte giclee prints. Each print is hand signed, numbered, and sent your way for $35 shipped, or $50 for two. Simply email me at alexwalture@gmail.com if you’d like one and I’ll get you taken care of.
