If you have ever visited that area of New Mexico, you understand why it has always fascinated poets and painters, photographers and free-spirits. Yet Colorado is awe-inspiring. I woke [...]

The gardens are a fabulous wedding venue, offering both architectural and botanical variety for creating wonderful Southwest-style scenics, though at this particular event I attempted to produce some images with an Asian feel. Here are three of my favorite photographs. I believe [...]
