Ranchos de Taos, Morning. 08-28-2024

Greetings from San Cristobal, NM. This week in Ranchos de Taos on a Sites of Taos photo tour/workshop.

This week is not a lengthy post as I’m busily printing for two shows in September, which is coming up fast.

It was beautiful weather for a half-day photo tour in Ranchos de Taos at the Saint Francis Church and always a great first stop on a Sites of Taos tour.

I shot these on an iPhone, to be able to share compositions, settings, etc. on a larger screen than a camera.

And a return visit at the end of the tour with a different-looking sky.

There are many more angles and views of this iconic building. Ansel Adams photographed it, Georgia O’Keeffe painted it and another photographer, my client, added images to his portfolio. Here’s mine from the rear.

As always, thanks for looking. I’m heading back to the studio. I hope you have a great week. G
