I broke out of my pattern of two-years of passive (non-)participation with the Albuquerque camera club today, and ended up getting lunch with several men who participate in the club’s mid-week photography meets. We had a good lunch at the Indian Pueblo Cultural Center (the taco salad was delicious, as expected), and following the meal, we made our way to St. Mark’s Episcopal Church, where the club had a meeting to enjoy a photo presentation by Albuquerque photographer Nathaniel Paolinelli, who does a lot of his work in communities in Albuquerque’s South Valley.

Across the street from St. Mark’s is the impressive facade of a Christian Science church, and the tree’s shadow on the building in golden hour, with the moon hovering close by, caught my eye.
