This is one of the photographs that I made when I lived in New Mexico a few years ago. The Ortiz Mountains is a small mountain range in the southern part of Santa Fe County. Though it is 40+ miles south of the city of Santa Fe, the Ortiz is visible from the city. This photograph was made about 20 miles south of Santa Fe, near the town of Cerrillos. The Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad track is visible in the foreground.
This small mountain range in the southern part of Santa Fe County, New Mexico was one of the prettiest sights in that part of northern New Mexico. They’re visible from the city of Santa Fe and from most other parts of the county as well. This photograph was made near the town of Galisteo southeast of Santa Fe, looking out across the Galisteo Basin.
The Ortiz Mountains were one of my favorite subjects. I often photographed them from the top of La Bajada Mesa just outside Santa Fe, where I saw the side of the mountains opposite the side shown here.
I have more photographs from my years in Santa Fe that I’ll be slowly adding as time goes on.
This is one of my photographs from New Mexico. The Ortiz Mountains are a small range in the middle of Santa Fe County between Santa Fe and Albuquerque. This photograph was made from the top of LaBajada Mesa southwest of the city of Santa Fe in February 2007. The Ortiz are about 20 miles southeast of here.
When I lived in Santa Fe, there was a weekly antiwar protest held every Friday at Noon near the city’s biggest intersection, the corner of Saint Francis Drive and Cerrillos road. I began hanging out with the protesters and photographing them. Over the year that I spent with them I became good friends with many of them and met some really interesting people.
This photograph was made last February. I have many of my photographs of the antiwar protests on my website already, but there are many more to add as I find time to finish working on them.

This is another of my photographs from my time in Santa Fe, New Mexico. This ride was photographed at a carnival that was set up in the parking lot of the Santa Fe Place Mall. They had carnivals there a few times each summer. I stayed a few minutes after the midway closed and made some photographs of the rides after the lights went off.
This is one of my photographs from New Mexico. I have many more photographs from my nearly two years in Santa Fe waiting to be put online. I believe that I have around 50 rolls of film that I have processed but not yet printed from New Mexico. Those will be slowly appearing here over the next year or so alongside new work that I am producing here in Indiana.
Here is another of my views from the top of La Bajada Mesa southwest of Santa Fe, New Mexico. The Sandia Mountains on the north side of Albuquerque are visible 40 miles away to the south of the mesa’s edge.
My son and I found this abandoned Route 66 era tire shop along the old highway in Tucamcari, New Mexico after we stopped in the town to see the Mesalands Community College Dinosaur Museum. We were on our way to Santa Fe, where I lived at the time.
Here’s another photo of my friend Debbie from New Mexico. She didn’t like the first one I posted, where she was laughing, so I printed this one for her.
These two landscapes were found in Quay County, New Mexico back in August as my son and I were driving back to Indiana after his visit with me in Santa Fe. They were made a few hundred feet apart along an access road along the north side of Interstate 40 just east of the town of Bard. The wind was blowing hard and the clouds were changing very quickly.
