Weekly Photo Challenge: Afloat
My internal dialog:
– Oh! My favorite clouds!
– Is it weird to have favorite clouds?

Train view
In the class with Sam Abell, we alternated classroom days with shooting days; on the second of our shooting days, we rode the train from Santa Fe to Albuquerque. Most of my classmates were finding interesting people on the train to photograph, but as you can tell from spending about two minutes on this blog, that’s not really my deal. I did see this, though!

The Doves
Another window at the church, this time looking into an office. St. Francis (or, to parallel the name of the church, San Francisco) is releasing a few doves, while Our Lady of Fátima averts her gaze.

Lenten Windows
This is another shot of those amazing windows at the church in Ranchos de Taos. This visit was during Lent and the objects in the window were draped in purple. The fan that was necessary back in July hadn’t been needed yet this year.

First of all, I want to apologize for having been so slow to respond to comments for the last couple of weeks. I’ve been doing some traveling and haven’t been able to keep up the way I like.
I spent a week in Santa Fe, New Mexico, at the Santa Fe Photographic Workshops; the legendary National Geographic photographer Sam Abell was teaching a week-long course and I was fortunate to have been selected to participate. Sam was the kind of teacher you’d want: talented, knowledgeable, and completely generous with helping us become better photographers. It was an important week.
This grave marker in a small cemetery is one of the images I made during the workshop. We found an interesting cemetery along the High Road between Santa Fe and Taos, and had time enough to stop for a while and practice the things Sam had taught us the first day of class…
