RECENTLY UPDATED - New Mexico
I was an artist exhibiting at the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta show in 2018, and decided I should try to get a photo of the city of Albuquerque. I talked to several locals, and the consensus seemed to be that the best view of the city is from “Sandia Crest,” which is the top of a mountain to the northeast of town. The elevation of Sandia Crest is roughly one mile higher than that of Albuquerque, so it was quite cold when I took this photo, but the view was worth it. Notice the aspen changing color in the bottom portion of the photo! Available in the following sizes (Panorama C): 30x10, 36x12, 48x16, 48x16 Triptych (3 x 16x16), 60x20, 60x20 Triptych (3 x 20x20), 72x24, 72x24 Triptych (3 x 24x24), 90x30, 90x30 Triptych (3 x 30x30), 108x36 Triptych (3 x 36x36), 126x42 Triptych (3 x 42x42), 144x48 Triptych (3 x 48x48).
Albuquerque International Balloon Festival 2017 2
I participated in an art show in Albuquerque, New Mexico, on one of the weekends in October, 2017 that coincided with the massive Albuquerque International Balloon Festival, which is touted as the most photographed event on the planet. The gallery from which I was showing my work was only a couple miles from the take-off site, but the scale of this event, along with the timing of the show and the launch times of the balloons made it almost impossible to shoot the event from where I'd hoped to. But I did manage to find an accessible location to get this shot, which gives some idea of the number of balloons that launch each day of this unbelievable event. Available in the following sizes (Rectangle B): 12x8, 18x12, 24x16, 30x20, 36x24, 45x30, 60x40.

White Sands National Monument, in southern New Mexico, is a fun place to visit. It's kind of in the middle of nowhere, so there aren't usually many visitors. The sand, itself, is made of eroded gypsum crystals. These tiny crystals would, under normal circumstances, be dissolved by rainwater and carried out to the sea, but the Tularosa Basin, where White Sands is located, has no outlet to the sea, so the dunes remain. Available in the following sizes (Rectangle B): 12x8, 18x12, 24x16, 30x20, 36x24, 45x30, 60x40.

Carlsbad Caverns National Park, in southeastern New Mexico, is one of the most accessible cave systems in the world. Although over 120 miles of caves have been mapped in the region, only a small portion of them are open to the public. This feature of the caves is called the “Painted Grotto.” Available in the following sizes (Rectangle B): 12x8, 18x12, 24x16, 30x20, 36x24, 45x30.

New Mexico's Bandelier National Monument is probably best-known for the Ancestral Pueloan structures built between 1150 and 1600 AD, and while I enjoyed photographing these ruins, none of my photos ended up having the bright, vibrant quality that I am usually chasing. Fortunately, the National Monument had plenty of other stuff to photograph, as well, such as this bee collecting pollen. Available in the following sizes (Rectangle A): 10x8, 14x11, 20x16, 24x20, 30x24.
