Los Reyes de Albuquerque

Paul Ingles, of Good Radio Shows, and I have started working on another project together, called Musica de la Gente – funded by the NM Humanities Council. We will be documenting the story and music of Los Reyes de Albuquerque. Roberto Martinez, co-founder and eldest member of the group, and his family are at the forefront of presenting, preserving, and perpetuating traditional New Mexican and Mexican folk music. On December 21, 2008 they performed an incredible Holiday Concert at the National Hispanic Cultural Center.

The Heart Gallery of New Mexico

The power of photography is hard to deny when pictures have resulted in homes and families for thousands of children, once considered "hard to place". The Heart Gallery of New Mexico became a project of the New Mexico Children, Youth and Families Department (CYFD) in 2001. Since then, photographers have tried to replace the file head shot with images that truly capture the spirit of each child waiting to be adopted. Those images are then exhibited around the state in hopes that the eyes of those in the frame will connect with the open heart of individuals willing to expand their family. It's working!

This year I photographed Karina,11.

The Country Roads of Eldon Edgar Moore

We share our personal stories and words of wisdom to remember and explain our own lives and possibly inspire the lives of others. Some of Eldon's stories of farm life and football, work and love are now documented for relatives, friends and future generations.

I'd like to share a short 10 minute edit of the multimedia piece. The images were captured in the Flint Hills in Council Grove, Kansas. The interview was recorded early in July.
