Steve was my identical twin brother, who died about five years ago. Jerry was what they called me, but I always hated the name. When we were nine, our mother moved us from a small town in Michigan back to her family farm in northcentral Kansas. There only seemed to be grass and sky. We often explored for miles around. There were a number of old barns, mostly abandoned. We were "two ducks in a henyard,"--two nerdie little "townies" dumped into a rural culture and setting--but also intrepid explorers of a--to us--alien world. But we still had each other. I really miss him. At first, we hated everything, except the skies. We missed the trees and forests, sidewalks, etc. But we eventually came to love that wide open spaciousness. After a lifetime of living upon it, the prairie has made me a part of itself. That's one reason why I'm more likely to make a picture with a prairie setting than with a mountain one.
