New Mexico, 1989-1990
In the summer of 1989 I moved for a year to Albuquerque, New Mexico. After a lifetime living mostly on the east coast, the change to the desert, the clear air, the stunning landforms and the strange flora was extremely stimulating. The landscape and the new kinds of light and subject were a new photographic challenge, and caused me to change quite a lot about how I took pictures. I did a lot of hiking and travelling with a camera that year, and this set shows some of the better results.
