Selling at the Plaza
Because I thought you’d want to know:
In accordance with Santa Fe City Ordinance No. 2007-48, a limited number of licenses may be issued by the City for vendors on the historic Santa Fe plaza. In the fall of 2012, 21 licenses were issued for a total of 16 spaces on the Plaza. The licenses are valid for five years. The next selection process will be in 2018. The types of licenses issued include:
Eleven individual licenses
Seven rotating licenses
Two collective licenses
One portrait license

Concrete Crosses
These concrete crosses are part of a larger memorial in honor of the nuns and priests who served the Archdiocese of Santa Fe.
I like how the concrete has weathered until it has the look of stone. And I like how the backs of the crosses are shored up with those little buttresses. It makes them seem sort of church-like.

A triad (plus one)
Triads are good compositional elements, a rule I willfully ignored when making this photo of some sprinkler valves on the campus of the Santa Fe Photographic Workshops.
Rules are made to be broken, right?
Also, it didn’t seem right to ask someone to remove one of the valves. For one thing, I don’t know which one I would have wanted out of the picture (literally).

Busker, Santa Fe
What in the world? A picture of a PERSON?!
I watched this guy for a long time, enjoying the range of expressions on his face. Between songs, he’d sometimes linger in the silence, and stare off across the Plaza. Once, he and the nearby balloon-seller had a short conversation. A woman with long blonde hair talked to him three or four different times; once she put some money in his jar, and twice he smiled.
And that’s all I know about the busker I watched.
