By chance I was in New Mexico during the "So Far From Heaven: 6 New Mexico Photographers," at the Mesa Public Library in Los Alamos. The public library is impressive & the gallery & the hanging of the show even more so. This was the first chance i'd had to see Kirk Gitting prints in the flesh rather than in magazines, catalogs or online. The subject matter was impressive & the perfect timing of some images (rainstorm over Blue Mesa for example) was inspirational. The prints themselves were equally impressive, no doubt the finest digital prints (archival pigment) i'd ever seen (that coming from a silver gelatin luddite). I'm grateful to have seen such an artfully displayed show in a beautiful public space. Kudos to all the photographers & gallery staff as well.
