Wonderful work. Reminds me I want to make a similar ramble in the vast spaces of Eastern Oregon with cameras & tent.
Do you know the photographer Alex Harris? He has a long long time NM connection, though he is academically affiliated with Duke U. He might be a useful resource for your future in NM, whether short term or long. See his work with Robert Coles in The Old Ones of New Mexico. He may live there FT now, I don't know.
I used to work at Duke 30 years ago, and used Alex's darkroom in the basement of the building that housed his Center for Documentary Studies, and wrote him up in my publication, and had my lit-work published in a journal he published during the 90s--meaning I'd be happy to drop him a line if you'd like to connect the next time you're there.

Thanks Robert -- I may just take you up on that. I don't know Alex Harris, but I'll be interested to look up his work and possibly connect with him.
My plan is to make this an annual event -- made sure to clear it with my wife, who gave me her blessing. This is of course until we end up living there 🙂.
As to whether it's going to be every February, I'm not sure. But I like the idea of going there in the off-season when the skies aren't filled with balloons, and the roads, towns and hotels aren't populated with tourists. Plus it's (traditionally, anyway) the time of year in which my business is a bit quieter. 10-12 days seems like a good amount of time.
Excuse the Alpa 9d (a recent acquisition!) in the non-Monochrom photo below, but I just picked up this first edition copy of Ansel Adams' 'Photographs of the Southwest' book. I saw it in a local antiques mall, perused it, left it, then went back the next day and bought it. Turns out I've been to a number of places he'd been (Allen, I believe I recognized a few places that you've been to as well, judging by your posted photos here), and there are a number of places that I need to visit (Coyote is one place that intrigues me, but have not yet visited). Plus the book has a nice essay by Lawrence Clark Powell. Personally I find Adams' work to be hugely inspiring (both his landscape and people photos), though I do find it difficult to be in an environment that I know he photographed (Canyon de Chelly, for example) and bring my own 'voice' to the scene.

Allen - most interesting, as usual - always makes me want to look twice.
I like the second shot and the third shot (crazy window reflections).

Thanks Fabio and another really good set. Looks like the MM is perfect for you and what you shoot.
