Adobe is everywhere in and around Santa Fe. While there are good reasons for this from a climate perspective, it’s also due to a Historic Preservation Zoning Ordinance passed in 1957 that mandates all buildings in Santa Fe are of adobe architecture. Rules also limit height to 4…

We managed to get out today to spend some time wandering around galleries in Santa Fe and Taos. This image shows the brightly coloured columns on the front of the Museum of Contemporary Native Arts in the centre of Santa Fe. From my photoblog at ift.tt/O653MPE #NewMe…

Time to dive back into the archives. I’m heading to 2019 this week and our NxNW trip that September to Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island, Canada. This is an image of New London Lighthouse on Prince Edward Island taken at dawn on what was, most definitely, the most spectacula…

We visited Peggy's Cove for sunrise a couple of times while in Nova Scotia on our 2019 NxNW trip. This location is normally filled with tourists but, at 7am on a grey, overcast day in September, it was quiet apart from a single other person taking selfies with a large and colou…

I spent last Tuesday evening at Dripping Springs Ranch Park taking portraits for Dripping Springs High School senior and band member Graeme MacAlpine. Graeme is a French Horn player so I couldn't pass up the opportunity of another "eyes and brass" photo. From my photoblog at …

This weekend is the annual Dripping Springs Rodeo so I spent the evening behind the chutes (and in front of them) taking pictures of the competitors and the competition. I've barely started looking through the results but this image of one of the cowboys deep in thought prior t…
