The mission church at Rancho de Taos
“I often painted fragments of things because it seemed to make my statement as well as or better than the whole could ...I had created an equivalent for what I felt about what I was looking at ...not copy it”.
Georgia O’Keeffe
This year we spent Christmas Eve and Christmas Day in Taos , New Mexico. This has been on my list of “must dos” for years and 2018 ended up being the year that it came true. We met up with an old college friend and his girlfriend in Albuquerque. After spending a fun time day tripping around Albuquerque we headed north towards Taos. On our way we stopped at San Francisco De Asis Church located in Ranchos de Taos. This church has been made famous by artists like Georgia O’Keeffe and is one of the most photographed churches in the West. Of course I couldn’t resist the chance of taking a few photos of mine own.
