The Taos Way

It took me forever to figure out how to get this image up because it kept saying that it was a "bad request" ... it was because the image was saved as a certain kind of file that it really just didn't like ... i dont know why ... because it's an awesome picture

i took this picture in Taos, New Mexico over the summer ... i was taking photography out there for summer school ... and for this image i was actually wandering the grocery store taking pictures for an assignment and one of the employees came up to me and asked if i needed a landscape picture and i did ... so i followed him ... creepy i know ... but i went upstairs ... through the employee only section ... out to this little balcony ... i guess it was their smoking section or something ... and they had this view ... i took some really quick pictures because i was a little creeped out ... but this one is one of my favorites of all of my photographs ... because it's an awesome photo and it got a great little story behind it ... the guy said that he could have gotten into a lot of trouble if anyone saw me in the employee only section

i did change it in photoshop a little ... to boost the color and what not



so ive been talking a lot about recent music videos that are weird ... well now im starting to think that they are more normal compared to the older music videos ... this is one of my favorite older songs ... this is the stuff that my dad used to make me listen to when we were in the car while i was growing up ... and i absolutely hated it ... but now it's the music i listen to when no one is around

and to explain the title of todays blog ... the photography teacher said that everything was a little off or different in Taos ... nothing would really go the way you expected or wanted ... it was the Taos way ...

for example ... the one and only photo developing store in Taos closed down ... so it was either drive an hour to Santa Fe to get your photos developed or work digitally ... also ... don't mess with the locals ...
