Pueblos of New Mexico

Over New Year I went with my wife and younger brother to New Mexico to visit and photograph the Pueblos. New mexico has 19 different pueblos all owned by different Native American Indian tribes. Many of them are still inhabited and have been for over a thousand years.

I took my Hasselblad 500c/m and my large format Shen Hao. Below are a few of the medium format shots I took.


San Lorenso de Picuris Church. Hasselblad 500c/m - Ilford Delta 400



It was forbiden to take photos or sketches of the Santo Domingo Pueblo. As we were leaving I noticed this old abandoned church. Hasselblad 500c/m - Ilford Delta 400



The Taos Pueblo was one of the most impressive. It has been inhabited for over a thousand years and is truely a work of art. Hasselblad 500c/m - Ilford Delta 400



This is all that remains of the first Taos church. It was destroyed by the Spanish while many men, women and children were seeking safety from within. Hasselblad 500c/m - Ilford Delta 400



I noticed this unique door at one of the small homes in the Taos Pueblo. I liked the hand prints and the American flag as a curtain. Hasselblad 500c/m - Ilford Delta 400
