Spring Snow in Santa Fe


One of my favorite streets in Santa Fe is Garcia Street. It is just off the famous Canyon Road, know for it's many wonderful art galleries.
The gallery I work for part-time, Mark White Fine Art, is just off this street and I took these photos a couple of weeks ago just after the last spring snow and right before work. The sky was gray with the threat of more show, but it was so beautiful.
If you ever visit Santa Fe this is a great area to visit. There is a great little coffee shop called the Downtown Subscription that serves the best cafe mocha, Garcia Street Books, and the Photo-eye Gallery and Bookshop, in a small corner just a block off of Canyon Road. On Canyon road there are many wonderful galleries with all types of arts and crafts represented.






I hope you enjoyed! Have a wonderful and warming spring!

I can't decide!!

Eight people entered my contest and each had a great title or two. They were all so wonderful that I could not decide on just one, so I putting my favorites in a poll and the person with the most votes will win!
The polls close in a week and the final winner will be announced on Monday, April 19th.

Now for the winner of the ACEO. There were a few people who I entered their names, because they put it on Facebook and let me know via email. The number generator came up with 1 which is Kaelin (who tweeted and facebook-ed). Yea for Kaelin Cordis, she will get to choose the ACEO she likes best!

Thank you to all who entered my contest and helped spread the word.

Win - Help me find a great title? Contest

I just listed this HDR Landscape of an Alaskan Sky taken from on top of a glacier in my Fine Art Photography Etsy Shop and my LJDesignPhoto Photography shop on 1000 Markets, but in not sure what to title it. I'm really happy with the results and each time I process another HDR image I learn something new. Here I used the process to bring out the details in the clouds and sky.


I listed it as an Untitled work and now I need your help. I think coming up with a title is one of my least favorite things so I'm asking you to suggest a title a title. In just over three weeks, on April 10, I will pick my favorite and award that person $30 in credit to use in any of my stores!

To Enter:
Leave a comment below with your suggested title.
You can leave a new one each day to better your chance to win.

I will close the comments the night before around 10 PM Mountain time.
The winner will be my favorite title.
The credit will be good for 6 months and has no cash value.

Tell your friends and you could also win an ACEO.

Thanks and good luck!
