WHAT DOES NEW MEXICO LOOK LIKE TO YOU?
I need your help, New Mexico.
I'm working on a personal photography project and I'm looking for one image that instantly feels like New Mexico.
But I don't want the typical stuff we've all seen a million times. No chile ristras, turquoise doors, or postcard landscapes.
I'm looking for something ordinary, overlooked, or maybe even a little strange that, when you see it, you think:
“That's so New Mexico.”
Maybe it's a particular road, an old building, a tree, a fence, a piece of land, a view, or something you pass every day.
What place or thing comes to mind?
I'm looking for the real, everyday New Mexico—not necessarily the famous places.
Tell me what I should go find!
