    Thanks guys, this place is pretty easy to get a good photograph of. Every angle is just screaming to be shot. I really want to go back and shoot more inside, there was a service going when we were there and it felt a little weird to walk in with all of my gear.

    Great shot! I have been to Chimayo serveral times. It is magical always, especially at dawn or dusk. I talked our teacher at the Santa Fe Workshop go on a class shoot at sunrise. Ok, it was Feb. and about 19 degrees in the pre-dawn darkness. Some are still cursing me. On that last visit in Feb of this year, I was very dismayed to hear that the area and the town have been over run by heroin dealers.
