I like to get my Americana on during the summer and take a road trip somewhere in the USA. Earlier this month I spent time in New Mexico.

This trip took me to Santa Fe, Albuquerque, Madrid, Taos and the more off the beaten path Salinas Pueblo Missions among other places.

I spent part of my time photographing the retro signs along Route 66.  The retro motels in Albuquerque along this historic highway are a piece of Americana that are slowly being torn down.

Many fell into disrepair over the years and housed undesirable activities and the people who engage in them. Fortunately there have been efforts recently to clean them up and maintain their historical value.

Once my feet touch the ground long enough I’ll update my portfolio, which will include some of the images from this recent trip to New Mexico.
