This year after a wonderful trip with wonderful photographers careening all over New Mexico and a further trip to Vancouver, B.C.   I disappered into the dark room for two months.
Altogether a rewarding experience.  Several of the New Mexico photogs are trying to put together a book about our experiences.  Editing is a, well evil task.  Below a photo from the wonderful Van Dusen Botanical gardens, Vancouver, B.C. SMD/2009
