"We traveled through this land a thousand years ago
We were the first to see the purple skies
I wondered round the desert in a mask of gold
I left a thousand things for you to find

"I left my home where your houses stand
I left my gold where your highways ran
I lived my life on what you call your land
I left my soul in the aztec sand"

The Place

Santa Fe is the state capital of New Mexico, "The Land of Enchantment" ("Tierra del Encanto" in Spanish). It is the oldest state capital (founded 1607, as capital of Spanish territories), and the highest, at 7000 feet. Set in the foothills of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, the climate is mild, with an average high in September of 80ºF (low of 50º). Taos, with its vibrant arts and crafts scene
is only a 90 minute drive north of Santa Fe; while Abiquiu, and Ghost Ranch
(an area that was home to artist Georgia O'Keeffe) is about an hour's drive, also north.

Most of the early classroom sesions of this workshop take place in highly 'walkable' downtown Santa Fe, where one finds such attractions as the Palace of the Governors/New Mexico History Museum, St. Francis Cathedral, and the Georgia O'Keeffe Museum.

On our first night, we will photograph around the Plaza in downtown Santa Fe - where there is just the right amount of available and mixed lighting at night. On nights two and three, we travel to such sites as the Bonanza Creek Movie Ranch, Rio Grande Gorge (part of Rio Grande del Norte National Monument) and the area around the village of Abiquiu and Ghost Ranch - as we enter progressively darker regions, relying mostly on the illuminaton of the Full Harvest Moon. Valles Caldera National Preserve and the Santa Fe National Forest are closeby and afford us ample opportunites for Night Photography (NPy) as well.
