photographs with deep meaning
Every picture tells a story. I am constantly looking for connections, finding the story behind the image that I see or find. Capturing the image in its ‘truest’ light is incredibly important to me… and so is the story behind it.

El Sanctuario
This image was taken of an early 1600’s adobe wall wrapped around a Hispanic Catholic Church ‘a Santuario’. The tree is a ‘New Mexican’ apple tree. The light, the spreading tree, the texture of the adobe wall and the feeling of this quiet, safe space attracted me.
The Spanish moved through central America and what is now Mexico and New Mexico in the 1500’s. The first Spanish settlement in New Mexico was July 11, 1598. The Spanish Governor, at that time, named the settlement San Juan de los Caballeros. These first Spanish people brought seeds of every kind to the New World, including the apple.

Historical significance, environmental significance, human connection- all are part of the story of the image and what that image is showing us. To be able to document that connection is why I am there.
