ENTRY DESCRIPTION
Along Upper Ranchitos Road in Taos, New Mexico (USA), there are scattered about small pockets of wetlands; reeds, cat tails, thistles, along with the creatures that usually inhabit such places.
It was after the bloom and the remaining stalks still held the remains of the plants that had contributed to the color and beauty of the area earlier in the year. I found a small group of thistles that had become home to small spiders and other small insects. The heads were in pristine condition. Using my computer, I re-imagined my images into what, to some, resembles more a painting than a photograph.

AUTHOR
As an award winning photographer, I have been taking photographs since 1967. With my camera, I circumnavigated the world in 1971, lived in Ethiopia where I served as a Peace Corps Volunteer. Since moving to New Mexico from New York in 1988, I have dedicated myself to capturing New Mexico’s spirit and unmatched beauty.

With a passion for telling the story of New Mexico in black and white photography, my emotional and dramatic photographs evoke a thought-provoking, soulful response. My work re-imagines the stunning beauty of New Mexico, revealing its essence. I constantly explore beautiful landscapes, villages and towns, art, culture, history and people through my heart and lens.

In addition to awards and publication, my photographs are included in private collections in New Mexico, Colorado, California, New York, Texas, Washington DC, Virginia, Pennsylvania, and The Netherlands.
