WE ARE MOVING! – BUT NOT FAR

We are pleased to tell you that the gallery is moving to the west side of the Old Town Plaza in Albuquerque. Although our new location is only a couple of city blocks from the old, the move marks the great distance the gallery has come in its first decade. The new space is much larger, better lit, and more welcoming than our current quarters.
Beginning April 1st – and no, this is not an early April Fool’s Day joke – we’ll be in the Plaza Don Luis on the northwest corner of the Old Town Plaza, across the street to the west of the Church. (303 Romero St). We will occupy suite N208 upstairs. Served by an elevator and multiple stairways, we’ll be easier to find and have space for you to sit, have a cup of coffee, and look at the artists’ portfolios. Please come and enjoy our photographs of this land of clear light we’re privileged to photograph for you.

We’re busy preparing the space now, installing a new lighting system, erecting partitions, and planning new displays. We’re excited about the move and can’t wait to get to the new space. We’ll have a grand opening reception and will announce it here. In the meantime, we’re still open at the old location, ready to show you all our photos, including a perfect old adobe wall, a mysterious gate, or an endless southwestern horizon in which your imagination can roam, as free as the wind.

Introducing Peter Boehringer

Meet Peter Boehringer, our very newest member. His beautiful photographs will be added to our gallery in March.

Peter’s attraction to photography started very early in life and he had the good fortune of growing up in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, where the breathtaking scenery was the backdrop for his first experiments in black and white. He received his first camera at the age of 14 and used his school’s darkroom for processing. However, with the lack of a personal darkroom and challenges of developing color film, as well as taking the time to pursue a career in the healthcare field, Peter put his photographic ambitions on hold.

Then in 2002 he moved to California with its captivating landscapes and discovered the tremendous improvement in digital photography. His passion for the art was rekindled. His main areas of interest are landscape, wildlife and nature, especially in the American Southwest where he now resides.

Welcome Peter, we look forward to having your work grace our walls.

Introducing Kent Winchester

Meet Kent Winchester, one of our two newest members.

Kent is a native New Mexican who has wandered the southwest – and other places – with a camera in his hand since he was ten years old. That was when his father, a professional photographer himself, first gave him a Kodak Brownie and showed him how to load film and click the shutter. After that he was pretty much on his own, but with Ansel Adams' books on photography never far away.

A trial lawyer, Kent's day job kept him from pursuing photography full time until recently. But backpacking vacations and work-related trips took him and his camera all over the western United States. Working first with film and now with both film and digital cameras, he continues to wander around the west, waiting for the light, and clicking his shutters.

We welcome him to the gallery and enjoy adding his individual style to our mix.
