From the end of 1980 until some point in 1981, I lived in Arizona with my mother, Karen Goff, and my stepfather, Vincent Goff. During that time, Vince and I would pal around and go hiking, exploring random corners of Arizona and even some old mine shafts. He introduced me to his friend Jimmy, who raced a sprint car. Jimmy invited me to help on his pit crew, while other days Vince and I would head to the races or even a golf course. On one of those adventures looking for ghost towns and mines down south, we pulled into Sahuarita at the One-Stop Market, and I snapped this image. The building was torn down in 2013, and while many of the other photos taken at this time were thrown away by my mother while I was in Germany, a couple survived.
