Santa Fe Photo Workshop

Sunset Portrait – Taking advantage of the spectacular Santa Fe sunset, Nevada Wier dressed up in western costume and posed for us on her back deck. Some participants illuminated her with fill-flash, while I used natural light to abstract her via a silhouette. The flare of the setting sun turns her into a symbol of the old west, a living monument to Santa Fe's historic past.

Fort, El Rancho de las Golondrinas – We visited a "living history" village evoking Santa Fe's colonial era and were given only an hour to capture a sense of the place. One of the buildings I photographed was this old adobe fort. I placed my camera close to a mass of bright green plants, creating a strong contrast in both color and texture to emphasize how this looming fort still guards the land.

Old Door, El Rancho de las Golondrinas – Another assignment was to express the flavor of the Spanish Colonial era through detail and color. These rich colors and the geometric design of this old door best captured that flavor for me.

Grave, El Rancho de las Golondrinas – One of the most historic ranches in the America Southwest, Santa Fe's El Rancho de las Golandrinas offers insights into the town's Spanish Colonial culture. Its windswept cemetery, known as Campo Santo, as well as its old Penitente Meeting House, took me back in time more than any place I've visited in New Mexico. To capture this scene, I placed my camera and its 24mm wide angle converter lens on the ground only a foot or two behind a teetering wooden fence enclosing the 19th century grave. I shifted my position a few inches to the right to also include the old Meeting House in the background. My low vantage point also emphasizes storm clouds that would soon sweep the area with much needed rain.
