Waiting in the weeds, Hachita, New Mexico, 2014

Hachita is a small village west of El Paso – at the turn of the 20th century, it was a railroad stop for the precious metal mines in the area. When the mines played out, the town withered away. Today it has only a few residents. I found this bench chained to the town’s abandoned restaurant. It is nearly obscured by the weeds that have claimed the area.
