Yes. The rumors are true. We've moved into a brand spankin' new studio in Downtown/Barelas. Just for fun, we'll have images of the build-out posted soon (I even got a bloddy thumb!) And, of course, we're planning a little opening soirée in the next few weeks. You know.. some images, an amazing DJ and a cocktail or two... Stay tuned for details! |

 Guess what? The portfolio for 2009 is posted! You can get an expanded online preview of it here.
Want to review a Physical Portfolio? So... you're an industry pro, and you're web savvy, but you like the
visceral feeling of turning pages. Frankly, you'd like to review a
hard-copy of my "book" to see if I'm worth hiring with your hard-won
budgetary dollars. Well, you're in luck, my friend. Just drop me a
quick note here and I'll bring it straight to your office (in the Albuquerque area) or mail if off first thing tomorrow!

The Alibi's fifth annual Photo Contest
By Amy Dalness
New Mexico has two mottos: one found on license plates and another uttered by natives, as much in jest as in seriousness. Both were proven by the photographers who submitted to our fifth annual Photo Contest—we live in an enchanting state that moves at the speed of mañana.With less than two weeks until the deadline, the bin labeled “Photo Contest Entries” sat at the edge of my desk with few envelopes within its walls. Never fear, I assured my fellow judging panel, more will come. Days later, the contents of the bin neared capacity and my e-mail inbox filled. Scenes of New Mexico sunsets, Bosque fall, frozen rivers and South Valley smiles came flowing in with minutes to spare from Flicker groups, high school photography students, pocket camera-carrying street travelers and graphic artists seeking recognition. From hundreds of entries, we painstakingly narrowed it down to those you see on these pages. Very painstakingly.Many thanks to Nick Brown, Christie Chisholm, Marisa Demarco, Molly Lindsay, Simon McCormack, Tom Nayder, Devin D. O'Leary, Jeff Drew and Jesse Schulz for participating in the selection process.

(reprinted with permission from albuquerqueARTS Magazine, July 2007 issue.)
On one of the first sunny days this year, I find myself with no appointments, no studio session, no deadlines and nothing to do for hours. It is early afternoon on a weekday. Aha! Perhaps a photographic downtown walkabout is in order. I can test (play with) a new wide-angle lens, get a cup of coffee and later drift in somewhere for an early happy hour. Exquisite!
While walking around Downtown soaking in the sun and taking architectural shots, I capture several wide shots (10mm) of the intersection of 5th and Gold St. Suddenly, a black suburban screeches to a halt next to me. The armed, black-t-shirted man who jumps out flashes me an FBI badge, questions me and “takes me in.” The complete ordeal is amusing but far too long to convey here. If you are interested, check out ripwilliams.net. Essentially, I was detained for a couple of hours, taken into a federal building, placed under armed guard, questioned, lectured and then released. The officer who ran my ID to make sure I wasn’t on any terrorist lists plainly said that I had not done anything illegal. He also mentioned that I must get written permission from the adjacent federal office in order to do the non-illegal thing again. I still made happy hour.
