Ever since that time, it seems to have become more important what others think of my work, than what I think of my work. I've decided that I am no longer photographing for others.

A tip: in your mind, divide your image in thirds both horizontally and vertically. At the point where the lines intersect, place your subject. This is called the Rule of Thirds. This creates the difference between a photograph and just another "pretty picture." The subject of this photograph is not Avery, or the horse, but the cross. Does this photograph accurately depict a Christian Cowboy?Anne Martinezhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01994254836714043663noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5414328382086663145.post-47230791407381610672010-09-30T06:37:00.000-07:002010-09-30T06:56:56.763-07:00Most Important Thing about Photography ....

First, it is always changing. Second, it can make things appear different than they really are. But, does it affect our emotions when we view a photograph? I believe it can. The way the light is captured sets the tone or the "mood" if you will, for the photograph. The way we capture light can make images "feel" warm or "feel" cold. Here are a couple of examples. Each photograph contains a storm, but the way the light is captured affects the mood of the storm. In the picture taken at White Sands National Monument, the storm does not feel so severe. This shot was taken in the evening with very low light. The evening light is almost like a blanket in that it makes everything appear like it's in the same "layer" of light. But in the photo taken on the Eastern New Mexico plains, the light creates a completely different efect. This shot was taken late-afternoon just before the sun started down. Which storm can you "feel?"Anne Martinezhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01994254836714043663noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5414328382086663145.post-66274883404076794612010-03-10T13:55:00.001-08:002010-03-10T14:06:40.976-08:00Be Brave!

I have refused for years to "go digital" because I was afraid I was not smarter than the cameras that are out there these days. But, I recently purchased a Canon EOS Rebel Xsi and I LOVE IT! It works just like my film camera ..... duh.

The date has been changed to Saturday, Oct 10th. We will meet at the Nambe church at 6:00am. While it's not a mission church, it's still very photogenic :) Plan to leave Nambe at 6:30am and arrive at the first church, St. Francis of Assisi in Ranchos de Taos at approx 7:30am. Then, we will head over to the Dulce turn off between Chama and Pagosa Springs (corner where Hwy 84 and 64 join). On the corner is a beautiful, quaint, penitente chapel.Anne Martinezhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01994254836714043663noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5414328382086663145.post-29978356741908224752009-10-05T06:44:00.000-07:002009-10-05T07:07:40.615-07:00Fall in New Mexico is beautiful<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0IEqVZjs2EtOwC3jYLZaO_mT-tamKbjlIKFOiMbgYAytVobuU3Y__FqUF7S-PvfeN5aHdco_552Q4KffQeqPcj_uCrNA1dYiQ88dG2zfA2RksnlasLrf4zApEAxbBf1nwDq_c6XIBkbc/s1600-h/Aspens+09+085+1.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0IEqVZjs2EtOwC3jYLZaO_mT-tamKbjlIKFOiMbgYAytVobuU3Y__FqUF7S-PvfeN5aHdco_552Q4KffQeqPcj_uCrNA1dYiQ88dG2zfA2RksnlasLrf4zApEAxbBf1nwDq_c6XIBkbc/s320/Aspens+09+085+1.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5389117282831314146" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjW-xMTZ20EnqtKOlPEUE72a09FSSZeTtM2sYSqmB8EcErqYjTjj8fm9LTJCz-7rt5v2fmELZXDl-0U7szdgqgdx0XQ439yp8TECMUK7ZGsQyCh8rtlAT_g-lYzcW8eY88eMbZUfWkcrWE/s1600-h/Aspens+09+057+1.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjW-xMTZ20EnqtKOlPEUE72a09FSSZeTtM2sYSqmB8EcErqYjTjj8fm9LTJCz-7rt5v2fmELZXDl-0U7szdgqgdx0XQ439yp8TECMUK7ZGsQyCh8rtlAT_g-lYzcW8eY88eMbZUfWkcrWE/s320/Aspens+09+057+1.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5389117275092565570" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjipLFhwtHjHaIS28kfPRp_bTXIik5IHN59c4XOnX1wHa0AGO9cKh4Sti4bZ0enCadHaq0diiqKYtyC8ZVbYqMu8CKgQlIG1d2PO_tDpse4dlgKW9waHvpsFUAqs0l31UAmAFBUGFBvs64/s1600-h/Aspens+09+004+1.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjipLFhwtHjHaIS28kfPRp_bTXIik5IHN59c4XOnX1wHa0AGO9cKh4Sti4bZ0enCadHaq0diiqKYtyC8ZVbYqMu8CKgQlIG1d2PO_tDpse4dlgKW9waHvpsFUAqs0l31UAmAFBUGFBvs64/s320/Aspens+09+004+1.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5389117260394353634" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEir_fy994-RVWROmQBRh5oD8blOSifEXQdzr1vPZ5glLuxi4Zqr31BbjWD8YzBQrkOcgCOx6cpv2TgFecd9b25Zc8TRKdRm7HjQ3DjghniX30rYAY31XKGQAR8cFsw_O7zQhJE6LprnqQ4/s1600-h/Aspens+09+072.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEir_fy994-RVWROmQBRh5oD8blOSifEXQdzr1vPZ5glLuxi4Zqr31BbjWD8YzBQrkOcgCOx6cpv2TgFecd9b25Zc8TRKdRm7HjQ3DjghniX30rYAY31XKGQAR8cFsw_O7zQhJE6LprnqQ4/s320/Aspens+09+072.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5389117252695147858" /></a><br />I am constantly amazed by nature.

It is my life's passion and I really would like to make a living at it. So, with that said, I'm going to begin an advertising and marketing program. <br /><br />Isn't this the American dream .... to do for a living that which we love to do? It's a big leap of faith for me to even THINK of putting my work in front of advertising people and horse industry publications. It's a very vulnerable feeling. Hopefully, throughout the years, I've developed a thick skin, so to speak. I guess we'll find out :)<br /><br />In the meantime, be an angel, adopt a mustang!Anne Martinezhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01994254836714043663noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5414328382086663145.post-33312384502491283802009-09-15T08:41:00.001-07:002009-09-15T08:48:52.170-07:00Fishing<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoC922BXkxjmKTzg7fSqxvD5JZusbL2ihWn-LnCMRdwkQdzJ3f52spI01QOV45gvuFBnkrz6lbgIzkl5e6Uy0L5zg1je9IbuXSdh0tXX9RlqlTSd7tQk72wc6R4hrbXaYKza_946KaSOI/s1600-h/Hopewel+%26+Mustangs+014.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoC922BXkxjmKTzg7fSqxvD5JZusbL2ihWn-LnCMRdwkQdzJ3f52spI01QOV45gvuFBnkrz6lbgIzkl5e6Uy0L5zg1je9IbuXSdh0tXX9RlqlTSd7tQk72wc6R4hrbXaYKza_946KaSOI/s320/Hopewel+%26+Mustangs+014.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5381720864387245570" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhN-rS29CvZK0ntkmIVIZQZaNpH7u9jP9f-3zcAksftWS8Ts7r_QMFXFLGLzC915BsbhnL5_NY91WaaXAoFICNQnoGceWiyfHD6UqjoiuGyOCBJiQwwNDs1Vjyv9uha-CdCKOHsUyVb23Q/s1600-h/Hopewel+%26+Mustangs+001.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhN-rS29CvZK0ntkmIVIZQZaNpH7u9jP9f-3zcAksftWS8Ts7r_QMFXFLGLzC915BsbhnL5_NY91WaaXAoFICNQnoGceWiyfHD6UqjoiuGyOCBJiQwwNDs1Vjyv9uha-CdCKOHsUyVb23Q/s320/Hopewel+%26+Mustangs+001.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5381720852293005170" /></a><br />Finally took a day off and went fishing with my boys.

He had been halter trained by a prison inmate in Canon City, CO. And, he'd had a saddle on a couple of times. Since he's been adopted, he has been worked with on the ground by his new owner several times. He's had his feet trimmed and been longed. But basically he's been allowed to hang out and settle in for 3+ months. Well, after several saddle and tack fittings, today, he had a saddle on and a rider :)Anne Martinezhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01994254836714043663noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5414328382086663145.post-80754736638654953042009-08-31T17:29:00.001-07:002009-08-31T18:00:01.523-07:00Valles Caldera Pix<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNuRWfv23pYbKyrxrez-R0R4aY9N27WUIK7Q4s4y2uwdZubCTMqdLRlta1lxnxdhlsq0VVyxv11R-BFnrmyyVTg2QnDGqnXm3bezDJyj_q2FIPakmT5eKAww0sJkm8AQNF7YjNvAF_vV0/s1600-h/Valles+Caldera+%26+Dogs+023.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNuRWfv23pYbKyrxrez-R0R4aY9N27WUIK7Q4s4y2uwdZubCTMqdLRlta1lxnxdhlsq0VVyxv11R-BFnrmyyVTg2QnDGqnXm3bezDJyj_q2FIPakmT5eKAww0sJkm8AQNF7YjNvAF_vV0/s320/Valles+Caldera+%26+Dogs+023.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5376294741273136098" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwCha5pBq2e8kmyzruhDEI7aj6Qa7uUG98pN-QROifYYNmDfKRoboNDRzRcZGhE2Z90jr5jk2s2PzD5C-8sVUQ4sthifn1dlaVn7tdzl41n68pu80o1NKzb8Kh3mOeXSuHzk2hwc8474c/s1600-h/Valles+Caldera+%26+Dogs+014.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwCha5pBq2e8kmyzruhDEI7aj6Qa7uUG98pN-QROifYYNmDfKRoboNDRzRcZGhE2Z90jr5jk2s2PzD5C-8sVUQ4sthifn1dlaVn7tdzl41n68pu80o1NKzb8Kh3mOeXSuHzk2hwc8474c/s320/Valles+Caldera+%26+Dogs+014.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5376294730280776642" /></a><br />Saturday was spent hanging out with my dogs in the mountains enjoying the BEAUTIFUL New Mexico scenery :) In our travels we wandered into the Valles Caldera which is now a National Preserve and open to the public.

What isn't so obvious is the amount of "heart" a horse has. For instance, one of the mustangs I've been photographing, his name is Mr. Breeze, wasn't treated very well (to say it nicely) in the BLM holding pens. The men were afraid of him because when they mis-treated him, he reacted violently. Only God knows the extent of Mr. Breeze's ill treatment. But, even after all he's been through, it is amazing to watch him find the courage to try and trust a human. It's very humbling to watch.Anne Martinezhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01994254836714043663noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5414328382086663145.post-71035794627957749712009-08-26T17:06:00.000-07:002009-08-26T17:17:35.834-07:00Learning to See Creatively WorkshopThe "Learning to See Creatively Workshop" was a lot of fun! It's always enjoyable to see on film how people "see" in their mind's eye. The image in our mind usually varies quite a lot from the image on the film!

These horses have been placed in a home south of Santa Fe and they are in training. We have the opportunity to photograph them as often as we like. Here's the deal, the classes will be held on Saturdays by appointment. We must have no more than six people attend at one time and it will cost $20 each. Above are two pictures taken during a training session last week. This is the first time this horse has seen a saddle and the time difference between the two photos is about ten minutes!</div></div>Anne Martinezhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01994254836714043663noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5414328382086663145.post-11817609932962348212009-08-21T16:51:00.001-07:002009-08-21T16:54:31.663-07:00Fair time photos<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5iEpdaOJ-DP4qWs3jXKZU4bNsO6tX9Zcu6IRH2VU7GRiMm03PhsvOgJAliAkSXxcbGOOdV97rTejYFpwLJdvv8obAFBk-0F33FcOdzV7KzPb-bFoFYSaHkR2BDYu1BJ_rbILgetHNCqc/s1600-h/Little+Candy+Girl.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5372569472911630802" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 212px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5iEpdaOJ-DP4qWs3jXKZU4bNsO6tX9Zcu6IRH2VU7GRiMm03PhsvOgJAliAkSXxcbGOOdV97rTejYFpwLJdvv8obAFBk-0F33FcOdzV7KzPb-bFoFYSaHkR2BDYu1BJ_rbILgetHNCqc/s320/Little+Candy+Girl.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div>To me, this photo just sums up fair time :) </div>Anne Martinezhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01994254836714043663noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5414328382086663145.post-34357407531958580932009-08-13T17:09:00.000-07:002009-08-13T17:24:44.742-07:00Mustangs and Youth<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWx7BOC8kwzejD9qIEi4jDsWflRfn5vyoXM0MJVxwN6ja1DEhyfM1WaZjlP6ez6lhiglR-lg7i-porleQpvJDV9tHPLFA1ic0OUJrzUJP1c9quc0YCf-FIph2um3mM_59g-Kh56Xo84GA/s1600-h/Hugs.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5369608471777128194" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 214px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWx7BOC8kwzejD9qIEi4jDsWflRfn5vyoXM0MJVxwN6ja1DEhyfM1WaZjlP6ez6lhiglR-lg7i-porleQpvJDV9tHPLFA1ic0OUJrzUJP1c9quc0YCf-FIph2um3mM_59g-Kh56Xo84GA/s320/Hugs.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div>The Mustang Heritage Foundation which runs the extreme mustang makeover, has a program for youth that allows 9-18 year old youth / parents to adopt yearlings for $25.00. I have a trainer who has volunteered to work with them, as a resource and help the kids get started with their training. This trainer would also help arrange to bring in the yearlings from the BLM after the kids have completed and approved their adoption application with the BLM. All it costs the kids is $25.00 and whatever fencing is needed to set up an appropriate space for the horses. After 30-90 days the kids / parents confirm their adoption of their horse. During the 30-90 days, the kids get a $200.00 rebate for feed for the yearling during their training program AND at the end this trainer will pitch in $100 / per horse towards prizes at an event / show where the kids get to show off their yearlings. This is an incredible opportunity! Contact me with questions or to make arrangements to adopt a yearling! </div><div> </div><div>The website for contact is <a href="http://www.in-a-different-light.com/">http://www.in-a-different-light.com</a>.</div>Anne Martinezhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01994254836714043663noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5414328382086663145.post-6436830056096169222009-08-10T19:45:00.000-07:002009-08-10T19:52:01.744-07:00Fair was wonderful!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9uL_kT9hr5JLJXr4DeXFdqHZAkriyJz1Q4_KEJGlaGskNXp8xRpkXewKKG_O5bWViP9a6g6pltxNZiHXH9iL0CptJ04iogSD3gCKQKlup3rKrntvfUHGza5SGGnQ4ciwCUgq94Qug5mo/s1600-h/A+Mother%27s+Love.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5368533046766653186" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 212px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9uL_kT9hr5JLJXr4DeXFdqHZAkriyJz1Q4_KEJGlaGskNXp8xRpkXewKKG_O5bWViP9a6g6pltxNZiHXH9iL0CptJ04iogSD3gCKQKlup3rKrntvfUHGza5SGGnQ4ciwCUgq94Qug5mo/s320/A+Mother%27s+Love.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div>The first photo class of the season was largely attended and absolutely great!
