I recently returned from a trip down to Taos, New Mexico. Many of the old masters used to photograph down there and I can see why. The sun certainly shines down uninhibited creating sharp shadows and bringing out the texture of things. This church, San Francisco de Asis, located at the southern part of Taos, was photographed many time by Ansel Adams and Paul Strand just to name a couple. Georgia O'Keefe made it a subject of several of her paintings. It was pretty amazing walking around in the ghost of their footsteps.
