Scope and Contents In 1976, Traube, his housemate the painter Reg Loving, and friends visiting from out of town took a ride on the famous Durango to Silverton narrow gauge railroad. The photos were shot spontaneously and then were sequenced in the darkroom. While the series is a narrative of their ride on the train, it also is a cinematic exploration of framing. Traube's train ticket is collaged to the first piece of the series.

Scope and Contents From 1980-1982, Traube was a member of the state-sponsored Artists-in-the-Schools program at Robertson High School in Las Vegas, NM, where he taught photography to a small group of students. At the end of the 1981 school year, the RHS principal asked Traube if he might be interested in photographing the senior prom. Traube agreed and loaded 2 cameras, one with color film for prints that the students purchased (2 5x7s and 4 wallets for $7.50) and the other with black and white film for himself.

Scope and Contents In 1974, shortly after Traube moved to New Mexico, he became acquainted with two sisters, Kathy and Cindy, and their children, who lived down the road in Tesuque, in what were formerly chicken coops on land that was sold by PNM to local people. He photographed them once a week for about 8 weeks.
