As a photographer I am fascinated by cultural events, especially those events outside of my culture. These photos express my love of people and places.

My most recent work can be seen in the following publications: the NEW MEXICO TREASURES published by the New Mexico Department of Cultural Affairs, 2012 NEW MEXICO TRAVEL PLANNER, SANTA FE VISITOR'S GUIDE, AAA's NEW MEXICO JOURNEY, NEW MEXICO MAGAZINE, THE SANTA FEAN, THE SANTA FE NEW MEXICAN FELIZ NAVIDAD, the ZENCHILDA.COM, HACIENDAS, LIVING WITHOUT MAGAZINE, EL PALACIO, THE NEW MEXICO TRAVEL GUIDE and the following books: VISIONS OF SANTA FE, SAINTS AND SINNERS, DOS MUNDOS, CHRISTMAS IN SANTA FE and the cover photo for the book THE SANTA FE FIESTAS, REINVENTED: STAKING ETHNO-NATIONALIST CLAIMS TO A DISAPPEARING HOMELAND. (Examples of my published work can be seen on page 4 on this gallery).

Since 2007 the Hubbard Museum of the American West, a Smithsonian Affiliate, has juried my photos into their annual fall photography contests. In 2009 I received two Honorable Mentions, in 2008 I received Second Place and in 2007 I received Third Place.

In 2007 I was awarded third place color in the New Mexico Magazine Annual Photography contest.

In 2008 the Santa Fe International Folk Art Market choose one of my photos from the 2007 market as the poster, rack card and the advertisement on the City of Santa Fe's buses to promote the market that year.
