Finding Joel

Mark Dahle Portfolios can be read in a few minutes and then enjoyed for a lifetime. Thought-provoking and beautiful, they feature an unusual combination of compelling photographs, brilliant paintings and deceptively simple text. This portfolio includes twenty-eight outstanding photos from Santa Fe and Albuquerque, New Mexico, and a narrative about Joel, who was 28. From the book: Joel was tall, athletic, and friendly. He lit up a room whenever he arrived. He liked everybody, laughed easily, and was the kind of person you were glad to know. He couldn’t be gone. He was too full of life.
