Albuquerque Photos, New Mexico Photos
Welcome to my collection of Albuquerque photos (New Mexico) and New Mexico photos from the past seven years. I was able to travel extensively in New Mexico, and came away with a delightful collection of memories captured both on film and digital. Links to individual galleries of photos are categorized by location, and include many of the most popular attractions in the state of New Mexico. I am constantly adding photos from my archives as time permits. So please bookmark us and return!
Nob Hill, Albuquerque Photos
Nob Hill, the upscale urbane center of Albuquerque, New Mexico, straddles the Old Route 66 (Central Ave.) near the heart of downtown ABQ. This colorful and trendy neighborhood is where the young and urbane live, dine and shop. It is adjacent to the downtown campus of the University of New Mexico.
The Flowers of Albuquerque
This collection of flower photos photographed in the Rio Grande Botanic Garden earned me a bit of a celebrity in Albuquerque, New Mexico when I first created it in 2006. It focused well deserved attention on Albuquerque’s Rio Grande Botanic Garden and all the good work they were doing. Most are shot on film.

Route 66, New Mexico Photos
The gallery shows scenes from the Old Route 66 as it winds it way from Albuquerque to Grants, New Mexico. These views from the “Mother Road” are some of my favorite New Mexico images during the past seven years. Many of these settings may longer be there due to new development.
Featured Jemez Mountain Trail Photos
Some of the most scenic views in New Mexico can be seen by traveling one highway; Highway 4, otherwise known as the Jemez Mountain Trail (or Jemez Scenic Byway). In this new gallery, I feature selected photos from this scenic drive that is conveniently accessed near Albuquerque. This quietly beautiful landscape is a personal favorite.
