Myself and Kirk Gittings of this forum are honored to be included in an interesting new exhibit/book opening in Santa Fe this month at the Palace of the Governors' Museum. It is entitled Through the Lens: Creating Santa Fe and is the "first major photography exhibition in 25 years" from the Photo Archives at the Palace of the Governors/New Mexico History Museum, Museum of New Mexico, Department of Cultural Affairs. It is co-curated by Mary Anne Redding, Curator of Photography at the Palace of the Governors and independent curator, educator, and photographer, Krista Elrick. The exhibit opens Friday, November 21, 2008 with a reception, hosted by the Women’s Board, from 5 – 7 PM and runs through October 25th 2009. We hope to see some of you there. The book will be released in January 2009.

Last night was the opening for the show, and it was incredibly packed. So much so I did not get to see much of it.

I went back this morning so I could actually see the show.

One of the security guards recognized me from last night. He said at times the wait was 45 minutes to get in, and they counted almost 1000 people. He said it was totally nuts on his end.

It's a wonderful show and I am thrilled to be part of it.
