About The Artwork
The Sangre de Cristo Mountains (Spanish for "Blood of Christ") are the southernmost subrange of the Rocky Mountains. They are located in southern Colorado and northern New Mexico in the United States. The mountains run from Poncha Pass in South-Central Colorado, trending southeast and south, ending at Glorieta Pass, southeast of Santa Fe, New Mexico. The mountains contain a number of fourteen thousand foot peaks in the Colorado portion, as well as all the peaks in New Mexico which are over thirteen thousand feet. The name of the mountains may refer to the occasional reddish hues observed during sunrise and sunset, and when alpenglow occurs, especially when the mountains are covered with snow. Although the particular origin of the name is unclear, it has been in use since the early 19th century. Before that time the terms "La Sierra Nevada", "La Sierra Madre", "La Sierra", and "The Snowies" (used by English speakers) were used.[1] Sometimes the archaic Spanish spelling "Christo" is used.

In his book "˜The portrait of an artist as a young man' James Joyce writes "__And to distinguish between the beautiful and the sublime, to distinguish between moral beauty and material beauty. And to inquire what kind of beauty is proper to each of the various arts. These are some interesting points we might take up." I've always believed the beauty proper to photography is not sublime creation, as in all the other arts, but rather a benevolent gift. When the fortune of a beautiful scene is recorded into my camera, in that inconsequential instant, relative to all of time, I am creating nothing. I am given something... like the best Christmas present ever or the love of a best friend. In that respect, photography is more a moral beauty art, as opposed to a material beauty art. The first time I became aware of this was in a small art studio in Paris France, where I discovered a black and white photograph of a young woman. What interested me most was the ambiguity of the subject's expression. She appeared pleasant and pleased. But there was a tear about to fall from her right eye. The image gave me goose bumps and soon after I bought my first camera. 40 years later, I was given the "˜gifts of light' I am displaying on Saachi.
