Indian Market, Santa Fe

I went to the Frida Kahlo exhibition at the San Francisco MOMA about a month ago and it was the most inspiring, emotional, and beautiful show I've ever been to. Second to that experience is the following: Santa Fe Indian Market. Once a year here the streets and town shut down to make way for the beautiful talents of Native Americans. Jewelry, pottery, paintings, and scultpures of inexplicable quality. I mean, I wonder if they went to school, or if its just raw talent. Either way, I am in awe. Here's one of my favorite pieces, "Slim." This guy takes down road signs, movie posters, political propaganda, and covers them with this image. Rad. This girl was seriously talented. This was one of her larger pieces.
I wish I remembered their names. It was so crowded it was hard to spark conversations. Next year I will be prepared. Here is some fresh jewelry design.
The crowds.
I love the sky in Santa Fe.

New Home

So things didn't work out in San Francsico, unfortunately. Fortunately, I landed a job in Santa Fe, NM with New Earth Records (newearthrecords.com). The food here is GOOD.
I traded in my little roadster for a Honda Element now that I'm traveling on dirt roads in the desert mountains. This is how you strap a mattress on to the roof. The sunsets here are amazing. That's my adobe apartment in the background.
After being a cooped up in a sterile building with no windows for 3 years my view from my desk here in the desert mountains is pretty nice.
