Santa Fe and Northern New Mexico by Jack Parsons; Introduction by Christine Mather (Rizzoli)
		The utterly magnificent and awesome landscape of Northern New Mexico has lured writers and artists worldwide, but its profound beauty almost defies description by even the most articulate. The best writers have struggled to express the magical quality of sun and earth in this part of the world. D.H. Lawrence could only say, “for greatness of beauty I have never experienced anything like New Mexico. What splendour!” Santa Fe Resident Jack Parsons has brought his camera to bear on this powerful subject—and with great success. Breathtaking vistas of legendary beauty are captured in all their grandeur: the brilliant colors of mountain, desert, and canyon. Parsons brings his lense also to the small, exquisite details of Santa Fe life—vines climbing adobe walls, Spanish portals with peeling paint, weathered santos in dry desert gardens—and to pueblos and small towns. This is the Santa Fe and Northern New Mexico experience that totally charms artist and tourist alike.
