Greetings from San Cristobal. This week I want to share a few images created for Tres Estrellas Design, Taos. These images are from an ongoing project for their ad campaign. You may recall previous posts over the past few years. In this shoot, we worked with Lyle Wright, a Taos Pueblo artisan, model, and all-around good guy.
I planned to post images from this shoot a couple of months ago. As you know, I’ve been busy with three exhibitions, so this post was on hold. I hope these images give you a glimpse of some of the fun, creative work I get to do. I love my job.
My friends Chris and Carla have one of the most beautiful ranches out at Black Lake, NM. It makes my job fun and dare I say easy in such a great setting.
The serape that Lyle is wearing is a “Navajo Late Classic Serape” raveled and hand-spun yarns circa the 1870s. It is in pristine condition and makes a powerful statement and testament to the skills and craftsmanship 150+ years later.
There were also moments of levity and laughter, between takes as you can see in the following shot. Lyle and Chris review a video moment on the iPhone.
As always, I thank you for looking, and for all the comments and compliments. Thank you. G

Absolutely stunning photos.
The composition, the expressions and stance of the individuals.
I remember Navajo third phase chiefs blankets design evolved to nine diamonds and half-diamonds, often incorporating much cherished unraveled red wool, cochineal dyed. Thanks for posting
Thank you, Mara. Whoever wears them seem to fit them. Stay well. G

Great images as usual, Geraint! The serape is pretty stunning, too. Great setting. Take care!
Thank you so much Peter. The serape really is the star. I hope you are well. G
I love all of the images. The first one is stunning in terms of color and composition. Mother Nature was definitely cooperating with the clouds.
We went hoping for long shadows and fall color. I’ll take what we got. Thank you Hadley. I’m enjoying your Facebook posts. Stay well. G
Very beautiful photos, Geraint. Happy Holidays!
