We spent four days visiting family and friends in Las Cruces.  I managed to fit in a couple of hours in the Organ Mountains and a morning walk in Old Mesilla.

The refined design of the Flash Bantam makes it a pleasure to shoot.  The image quality, however, has to be attributed primarily to the Anastar lens, Kodak's version of the Tessar.

from: Kodak Lenses, Shutters and Portra Lenses - 1952

These shots are from a roll of Tri-X shot at ASA 200 and processed in Kodak TMAX developer at the 1+4 dilution.

One of my photos from our days in Las Cruces was chosen recently to head the home page of the Border Health web site.  My thanks to webmaster, Clint Sulis, who added an extra bit on top.

The original image was posted on photo.net.

One of my northern New Mexico pictures was used on the BLM site about the Cieneguilla Petroglyphs.

I'm happy to permit such use on non-profit sites at no charge provided permission is asked for.
