Hi David,

Love the church with red steeple, great touch and such interesting clouds to make the package complete.

David,

all three images have something special, I also thinks all three images would also work as B&W.

Spontaneously I would declare Nr.2 as my favourite but Nr.3 is also very interesting after looking for a while.
Thanks
Thomas

...I shot some interesting images of a New Mexico graveyard -- just off the interstate -- strange and colorful stuff -- little statues, candles, and real and plastic flowers and fencing -- all over the place. And, in a style, far less antiseptic than the type of cemetaries in the midwest -- is was quite beautiful.

Heck -- I should have backed it up, because soon afterwards, I got my laptop stolen, from my car in Flushings/Queens (then my base camp when tracking Manhattan).

I do have a printout of a reduced image, that, at the very least -- captures the potential of the site.

I could have spent a month there, on that little 1/2 acre of land.

David, all tree shots are wonderfull. So crisp colors on the second one and deep athmosphere on the third one.....laconic first. Thank you for sharing,

Hi Ms S...

Ya, the red church steeple was a surprise. Driving through deep Spanish influence where there are definite styles, then this pops up on the horizon! A Presbyterian Church in El Ritos, New Mexico. And the clouds were forming up too. Intense country.

Ya, I think of you and Canyonlands when I drive around this stuff. The light in particular gets real intense in New Mexico. Is why all the artists gather here.

Tx Thomas.

Ya, I work with B&W a great deal and was about to try something there. I have been trying to tweak the imaging software under the gallery to allow the colors to pop, to look the way they look ater post processing. The colors fade somewhat in what you see. I have installed a completely new gallery application that it terrific, and the colors are maintained after sizing very well. Will post from it soon.

That is very interesting, your shooting images in New Mexico graveyards. There are some really amazing expressions of these cemetaries as you said. The roadside crosses that get adorned with plastic flowers and stuff are descansos, after the burial service ceremony.

A couple days ago was in Ojo Caliente, NM. There is a little graveyard that awhile ago I came across two gravestones. The man, Spanish surname, died at the age of 23 in 1919, some time after the end of WW1. The woman, with the same last name, and what appeared to be, a spouse??, aged 22, only a few months later. They've been together in this same spot for 85 years. I sometimes wonder what happened. That young, and less than a year apart. Also, the first time I came across a gravesite with stones going back to the early to mid 1800s, with Spanish names, and Star of David on the stones... well, I learned about the Crypto Jews. Another amazing history.

Was just in NYC and Queens last week.

Tx Olga. The ciolor and light in New Mexico is pretty amazing. I took a ton of petroglyphs that were very hard to capture due to the intense light that I will post some shortly.

Wow, what a contrast. If there was no grass on the front on the first shot it would be perfect for me. Thank you and waiting for more,
