“Sometimes the sense of a place is space,” says Southwest landscape photographer Ashton Thornhill. Since 1979, when hired to head Texas Tech University’s Photo-communications program, Thornhill has captured the historic pathways and landscapes of the region in the camera lens. This March, he brings a selection of his art to the gallery walls of the Vista Grande Public Library in Eldorado. Mr. Thornhill's work hangs in the permanent collections of the Grace Museum, Abilene, TX; the Strathmore Mansion, Bethesda, MD; the Harry Ransom Center, University of Texas, Austin; the Lea County Museum, Lovington, NM; the Southwest Collection, Texas Tech University, Lubbock, TX; as well as in many private collections. The Southwest Collection at Texas Tech University will house his photographic archives.
