Since retiring from the fulfilling-yet-financially struggling world of newspaper photography, my work has begun a new direction. I have joined the Albuquerque Photographers Gallery in Old Town. The official website description reads:
“The Albuquerque Photographers Gallery is the only cooperative art gallery in New Mexico dedicated solely to exhibiting and promoting contemporary fine-art photography by local photographers.”
This is a new adventure for me and living in New Mexico has given me a fresh array of subjects to explore visually. I am the tenth member and I enjoy being part of a community of photographers again. Because this is a coop, I take my turn working in the gallery 3 days a month. It’s wonderful to be out talking to people about photography and their experiences in New Mexico.
I like to think that there was art in all my photojournalism work, but now I have a venue to pursue art for art sake.
