This One is Special
This win was special because I am getting back to my black & white roots from high school. First place in Landscapes in Black and White with my image “Mono Wave”.
Thanks to All!
I just learned I won the People’s Choice Award at “The Art of Healing” show in Albuquerque. Thanks to all who voted for me. A very nice honor.
Through February 18, 2022
I was honored to be invited to participate in The Art of Healing show that supports the New Mexico Cancer Center (Albuquerque). If you have time, make an appointment to see the wonderful art being exhibited.
If you are unable to visit in person, a virtual visit can be made at: https://nmcancercenter.org/gallery/
Contact the gallery director, Regina Held, for purchases and inquires.
My thanks to the National Park Service
I am honored the National Park Service selected one of my photos for use on the cover of its guide to Pecos National Historical Park.
After a year of house arrest....
I have been quite busy this year despite some places being closed. Photo safaris have included my first visits to Big Bend National Park, Valley of the Gods (Utah) and Whitewater Draw in Arizona. I also managed to check off a couple of things from my bucket list: 1. photograph big horn sheep in the wild and 2. capture the Milky Way over The Mittens in Monument Valley.
Additionally, I did my first-ever studio shoot with a model and even ventured out of my comfort zone and did some senior/graduation photos for a friends daughter.
Last week I taught a night sky workshop at Pecos National Historical Park and may be doing workshops at another National Park Service unit later this year.
Finally, I have been pleasantly surprised to have won five photo contests this year with my image “Light from Above” earning its sixth win.
Until next time….
WOW!
Tonight the Dona Ana Photography Club announced its awards (via Zoom) for 2020.
As a new member, it was my first time participating. Two of my photos received awards including my photo “The Shadow” winning Best in Class.
The last award given is for Photo-of-the-Year. I was quite surprised to see the winner.
My thanks to the club and the judges. I am honored.
Enchanted Opportunity
I am excited to now have my work available for purchase at Enchanted Sugar in Albuquerque. The store is located on the upper floor of Cottonwood Mall near the food court.

A GREAT HONOR
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.
It's Official!!!
