The Los Alamos Arts Council put on the first ever Farther Along Folk Festival this past weekend. The level of musicianship was pretty top notch for such a small town (which goes to show just how talented artists of all kinds are in this state). I was fortunate to take pictures and enjoy the music. Good times were had by all.
And here’s a short clip of Jubal closing out his set:
I am finding that the more I shoot landscapes, the more I think and visualize in the X-Pan ratio. The X-Pan is a film camera that takes a picture across two 35mm frames for a really wide picture, almost like widescreen films. I like this way of framing because it gives me the ability to put some context into my shots; meaning my subject is surrounded by more visual cues that add significance to the shot.

I was just trying to take a picture of this tree on my way into work and all of a sudden this crow swooped in.
From March of 2022. I pulled over to the side of the road (NM502) to capture a picture of the Jemez Mountains, the Pajarito Plateau, and some low lying clouds. It’s a reminder to me of how much the landscape has shaped our little town and of how, on occasion, the mundane can become magnificent. Click the image to expand.
