Here’s another shot from my trip down to Santa Fe. We were walking around the plaza, and we walked over by the La Fonda, any of you who might know Santa Fe a little bit know that the parking lot across from the La Fonda is a really small open air bazaar. It’s kind of interesting. They usually have blankets, and shirts, and general Santa Fe stuff. They usually have the best price on Ristra’s too (at least in the plaza). If you don’t know what those are, they are the bundles of chili peppers that are bright red. The are great still life fodder, but again still life isn’t the first thing I look for when I’m walking around. I want people to photograph, whether I know them or not. Read more...

So I wanted to kinda show off a series I did of some shots I got while I was in Santa Fe over the 4th of July. I haven’t had much time to work on any of my personal projects lately so I’m really glad I got the time to work on these. I’ve just been so busy working on those shots from my engagement session with David and Erin, that I really haven’t had much time to work on anything else. Read more...

So I was walking around the plaza in Santa Fe on the 4th of july, and I saw this girl and her rickshaw and decided to get a portrait of her. I’m a big fan of these candid portraits. She of course saw me shooting, because I stepped right out into the street to get this direct shot of her. I frankly think she half enjoyed having her picture taken. That and I was pretty obvious because I was using my 70-200 with the hood on, so my lens was huge. Not exactly the kind of lens that is great for staying under the radar. I had to crop this shot way down, because I didn’t have time to zoom in as much as I wanted to, and I’m still amazed at how clean the shot is after cropping it down so much. I probably cut out about 2/3′s of the shot. Read more...
