The Spanish first came to New Mexico, bringing the Roman Catholic Church with them in 1540. That is 80 years before the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth Rock. So much of the European History of New Mexico is bound up with the Catholic Church. From my point of view, as a photographer, the Churches out here are fascinating subjects. Many have been used for incredibly long times, like Cathedral of Santa Fe, which is built on the site of a church erected in 1626. The church has a good deal of influence on the life of this state. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Since I\u2019ve been out here many of the churches have been shuttered because of Covid and other reasons. So, most of the pictures collected here are exteriors. I expect to explore more of the interiors as they become more accessible. Of course, those images will be added to this group as the work progresses. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

As you might imagine I\u2019d prefer that these pages don\u2019t get filled with a great deal of text. If you\u2019d like information about a specific image, please e-mail me at john@siskinphoto.com<\/a> and I\u2019ll let you know what I know. Of course, if you have specific requests about an image you\u2019d like to purchase please use the same address. If you\u2019d like to go ahead and purchase an image, please use the Paypal link below and give me the browser link to the image and your shipping address. <\/span><\/span>

I am also trying a couple of things that will give people an opportunity to support this work. While I am fortunate to have enough money to continue to do this work, some things are pretty expensive. For instance 11×14 film is hard to get and costs about $300 for just 25 shots and a 120 roll of Ilford Delta 400 is close to $9.

I did a large show when I was still in Indianapolis called Courting Chaos<\/a>. The link will take you to the pages which describe the work and its evolution. These images are, well, chaotic and many of them are nudes. I hope you\u2019ll find it interesting.<\/p>\n
