Yesterday was the first Friday of the month — Art Walk time on Santa Fe. I made my way to Santa Fe early last night. It was very quiet in comparison to warmer months. People have probably been reveling earlier this week too! I also decided to do another Project 52 again this year. Shoot every week and post here.
I stopped at a gallery along Santa Fe that was run by Laurie. Hope I spelt her name correctly. She does weaving. It also turned out that she does photography with alternative processes (eg, tintype, calotype, ambrotype, etc). After chatting with her a while, I made these images of her colorful glass bottles.

And her colorful knitting needles.

During visits to various galleries I passed an antique store, where I was attracted by the warm glow of the lamp in the window.

I made a few other compositions of lampshades, including this one with a similar color palate.

Later, I was in the Point Gallery. They have this galvanized steel ceiling that reflects the colors of artwork. I moved around until I got a pleasing abstract composition reflecting blues from a painting hanging on the wall.

Returning home I passed across the road from an architect’s office. Outside were 10 lights on a low wall. The blue of the street lights provided contrasting colors. It also complements the blues in the picture above!

Best Wishes and a Happy New Year for 2015! Come back to see more new images throughout the year.
