Through photography, I celebrate the quiet poetry of everyday life in the mountain towns of Northern New Mexico. I am drawn to pedestrian spaces—alleys, plazas, sidewalks, adobe walls, weathered doors, and the places where people naturally gather or simply pass through. These landscapes tell stories not through grand events, but through light, texture, time, and the subtle traces of human presence. By documenting these walkable environments, I hope to inspire a deeper appreciation for the community.”

With The Leaves

I am only a leaf in the fall,
loosened from all I recall—
the branch, the breeze, the endless green,
the sky where sunlight used to lean.

 

 

To the morning sun through the pines


Your light drifts slow, like memory.
Each needle catches fire,
and the ground becomes
a quiet sea of gold and ash.

You fall on benches still wet
with night’s unspoken dreams,
where no one sits.
