“Morning Flight” - an image of the mass ascension has earned two international photography awards:

Check back for images from this years fiesta.
Last month I had the opportunity to photograph the Durango Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad train. I have long wanted to be there when there was snow and I was fortunate to have picked the right time.
I captured several images I really like and one of them just won 1st Place in an international photography contest for photographs of trains. My winning image is titled “Around the Bend.”

Pecos National Historical Park has opened an exhibition of my work that includes images from my time as the first-ever Artist-in-Residence for the park. The title of the exhibit is: "A Glimpse of Pecos Through the Lens of Stan Ford." Tentative plans call for the exhibit to continue until the summer of 2019. If you have a chance, please stop by the park's museum (inside the visitor's center) and check it out.
