MUSEUM SHOW IN SANTA FE

The Palace Of The Governors Museum in Santa Fe, New Mexico is mounting its first major photography exhibit in 25 years, and your favorite artist, Robert Luis Chavez (ha ha), is included. The show "Through The Lens: Creating Santa Fe" will open November 21 in the west wing of the Palace Of The Governors Museum, from 5-7pm. The opening is open to the public so come on down if you are in Santa Fe, you don't need an invite. The exhibit covers 150 years of photography in Santa Fe and features over 100 photographers, including many who currently live and work in Santa Fe. Through The Lens: Creating Santa Fe coincides with the 400th anniversary of the City Of Santa Fe as well as with the 100th year of the Palace Of The Governors Museum. A book of the same title is also coming out in January. My two lightning pictures shown below are part of the show. For more details, here's the full press release and list of photographers put out by the museum.

 

PHOTOGRAPHY CLASS AT GHOST RANCH, 2009

Friend and mentor, Kent Bowser, is teaching his forteenth consecutive Jan term class this year at Ghost Ranch Abiquiu, and your favorite artist, Robert Luis Chavez, is the assistant this coming Jan term 2009. The class can be taken for college credit, and we had eleven students last January, two of whom were non-college students. Last Jan term at Ghost Ranch was marked by record cold temperatures and freezing water pipes. Still the snow and cold couldn't keep the class from having a good time and making some great images. There was always snow and ice on the ground and both feature prominently in most all of the photos from last year...continued and more pictures

Kent Bowser continues to teach black and white landscape photography at famed Ghost Ranch in Abiquiu as he has for fifteen years now. Classes for 2009 are continuing, all at Ghost Ranch's upgraded and well maintained darkroom facilities. For a calendar of Kent's classes in 2008/2009, and more of Kent Bowser's photography see Bowser's updated guest pages. Kent also printed the William Parker Little images seen on this site.

2008 PEDICAB SEASON IS ENDING?

I've been driving a pedicab part time in Santa Fe, New Mexico to make extra money and stay in shape for my next big photography adventure - whatever that may be. The 2008 season is coming to an end: once the snow and ice cover the streets it's too hard to work any more. Here is a new page that shows if am working today on the pedicab along with some pedicab FAQs. So come and take a ride with your favorite artist (ha ha) when you are in downtown Santa Fe.
