DescriptionTower-like stone ruins stand in pillars and tall forms among piles of stone in New Mexico. A man has climbed half way up the structures and stands posing at the camera. He wears slacks, suspenders with a pinstripe button-down beneath, and a fedora. There is a pocket watch chain dangling from the suspenders. The long sleeves of the shirt are rolled up to his elbows. Silver mirroring and emulsion deterioration is occurring on the glass plate creating color distortion and emulsion loss.
