Taos and Santa Fe, New Mexico

Bowl and Mantel, Taos by Mary Macey Butler

I have wanted to photograph in the Taos and Santa Fe area of New Mexico for a long time, since visiting there briefly some years ago. Recently I spent five days there experiencing and photographing southwest scenes, some of which I knew about beforehand and sought out, such as the Taos Pueblo and San Francisco de Asis Church, and others I researched or came upon.

I found it easier to photograph in the smaller town of Taos than in Santa Fe but would like to return and explore Santa Fe in more depth. What drew me to the area were the colors and texture of the adobe, the wonderful architectural designs, and the contrasts.
