Low Low’s
Sure, most people go to Chimayó for the church, with its mystical powers. But I guess there’s a certain demographic who likes a nice low-rider museum to break up the pilgrimage.

It seems strangely familiar
I moved away from Albuquerque in 1982. I’ve been back a handful of times since then – enough, I guess, that when I got off the train from Santa Fe, it seemed like I’d never left. I even found myself looking around for the woman we called Point Lady, who stood along Central Avenue, shouting and pointing at anyone who looked in her direction.
I never did see her.

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.
