Artist with Nude

I visited an artist's studio recently and shot a photo of him next to one of his paintings with my iPhone. Here's a quick sketch made from the iPhone reference.

Vigas and Shadows

While visiting the semi-famous church in Ranchos de Taos (just a few prayers south of Taos), locals told us that this church is the most photographed church in the world.

I have some doubts about how accurate that statement is, having seen the daily crowds of thousands at St. Peter's in Rome and St. Paul's in London. There were 3 or 4 tourists present at Ranchos de Taos.

Maybe I was there on a slow day.
