Here’s another look at an exhibit at the folk art museum – this was part of an exhibit called La Cartonenria: the Mexican art of paper and paste. It’ll be there through the first weekend of November in case you want to see it. (Hint: you DO want to see it. Trust me.)

Also, this museum is an excellent place to practice using narrow depth of field to get the Main Things in good focus. And it’s also a place to practice Photography Yoga so you can try to keep reflections and weird shadows to a minimum.

Adobe + crosses + clouds + a churchyard: a perfect photography day.

in the weeds

 

You probably already know that if there’s a cemetery around I will definitely go and see what I can find. And here in Chimayó, the cemetery is bordered by two streets, one cliff, and a little farmyard that had a cow and a rooster and maybe a goat or two. And this weather-worn statue was so close enough to the cow that they could have had a conversation.

window saint

This adobe house sits just across the narrow dirt street from the town’s famous church. It seems like it’s close enough to perhaps get by without a window-saint, but the residents evidently felt otherwise.
