Mothers of Autism in Albuquerque

Back in April I was asked to photograph this group of mothers of autistic children down in Albuquerque. Check out "mothers of autism" on Youtube, and you will see images of mothers from around the world, the music is especially moving.
It was a privilege for me to meet them: A group of courageous women indeed.

I photographed Darlene's husband a few weeks ago, here is one image of him wearing the fabled coat; I have made it look like a vintage picture, something I've done before and enjoy doing!

photographing for Girls Inc in Santa Fe


Back in April of this year I photographed 5 girls from Girls Inc, the picture is being used for their "thank-you" card. We went to a local park and the girls were delightful and fun and easy to work with. Here is the picture chosen.

Photographing Dave

I've just been photographing Darlene's husband for her - he's a cute guy/bit of a mountain man - with his long low sexy black car, inside his workshop, and outside again in a 140-year-old long raccoon coat that Darlene found for him at the Santa Fe flea market.
Lots of fun, and I'll upload one of his images later on so that you can admire him.

Woof! Woof!

I've recently been having fun photographing dogs, with and without their owners.
The dog's owner is in charge of settling and talking to him and I wait for that magic moment when I can whistle and attract the dog's attention; the pricked up ears and momentarily closed mouth and a look of inquiry -- and we have it!

Grandchildren

Two of my four grandchildren have dropped by (with their parents) on their way to and from skiing in Wolf Park; they are 11 and 12 years old and a lot of fun. In the past I've harassed them with my camera and now I'm trying to back off and so just pull out a "point and shoot" camera occasionally. So I still can capture their growing up and changing personalities.
