Northern New Mexico is a treasure chest of photographic imagery. Adobe walls, towering cliffs, magnificent variegated rock formations, Hispanic churches - around every turn in the road, a startling image presents itself. As a result, I spent many of my Santa Fe Years (1990-1997) carrying a camera wherever I roamed. It gives me great pleasure to share some of these images with you, for photography is yet another way to bring beauty into the world.

During the Tim Buckley Years (1966-1975), I carried a guitar instead of a camera. However, some of our friends took pictures of Tim and me on and off stage; Jennifer Stace, my girlfriend at the time, painted a marvelous portrait of Tim (my photograph of which was used as the CD cover for Works In Progress); and many years later a friend of mine sent me two snapshots of Tim's son Jeff which are here presented for the first time.
