I continue to be amazed by the beauty and the diversity of the human face and of human behavior, and spend many hours people watching. This is a great joy for me.

I live very close to the Santa Fe Plaza and many of my photographs are inspired by the lovely people and families who gravitate to the plaza throughout the year - and especially during its festivals and fiestas.

I am also a passionate collector of photography books, monographs, exhibition catalogs, and rare and out of print photography books in general. One of my favorite homes away from home is the Photo-Eye Bookstore in Santa Fe.

For those of you who wonder where my Flickr icon comes from - this is the original photo that inspired it and continues to inspire me -

santos - my dear friend Francis by santafeez


Namaste

I have perceiv'd that to be with those I like is enough,
To stop in company with the rest at evening is enough,
To be surrounded by beautiful, curious, breathing, laughing flesh is enough,
To pass among them or touch any one, or rest my arm ever so lightly
round his or her neck for a moment, what is this then?
I do not ask any more delight, I swim in it as in a sea.
- Walt Whitman
