We'll be in Santa Fe for a couple of days this week and my wife wants to go to Taos. (At least she did before finding out the temperature)
I noticed that they have a photography tax at the Pueblo so just wondering if it's worth it to take anything more than my iPhone. I'll have my Super Graphic and Mamiya RB67 with me - just looking for thoughts/opinions/random thoughts on whether it's worth the $12 to take them to the Pueblo.
Everything accesible has been photographed 10 million times. Having said that I have a couple of keepers from maybe 6 visits-some with more access though as I did a tourist brochure for the Pueblo.

Aside from the Pueblo itself any thoughts on the Taos area?
What are you interested in?

I thought it interesting but the moment you put up a tripod those in charge start to freak out. They followed us around with wringing hands the entire time we were there. Somehow the guy with the 30k in digital gear didn't seem to phase them.
I would give it a pass, or just take your phone in then if you see something you like, go pay the tax and pick up your tripod as you go back in.
Jim....Let me get this.... you have to pay someone to take pictures? A tax?
Yes.
Oh thats just wrong.... i dont care if it is a really cool place i will not be paying anybody to take pictures.... sucks big time
From their webpage:
Camera Fees (includes cell phone / video):
$6 per camera
Professional and Commercial Photographers; fees vary.
I'm not sure how they define the latter.... I'd imagine they'd freak out if they say any LF gear, even if you're strictly a hobbyist.
Definite yes on the LF gear.
