New Mexico adobe buildings and churches represent the largest body of my work and include numerous subjects, some photographed as early as 1980.  The architecture of early New Mexico adobes leads to a variety of interesting and compelling compositions.  Adobe is a great subject due to its complex shape and texture.  Unfortunately, many of these buildings are falling into ruin.  Images in this series are all sepia-toned silver-gelatin photographs.
