Shiprock: a soulful shrine to Navajo art and textiles in New Mexico
This soulful Santa Fe temple to Native American textiles and artefacts is celebrated for finding the finest and often unique pieces

Note this piece of coverage is an example of a long game. Before Shiprock was my client, I was their account manager with Suzanne and Jen at JLH—the journalist’s knowledge of the gallery goes back several years and it is wonderful to see this piece finally come out.
Photographer Jess Dugan in Santa Fe this Weekend
“We wanted to create representations of older transgender people, and gender nonconforming people, to both capture their stories, preserve their history, record some of the activism that they had been a part of,” Ms. Dugan said. “But we also wanted to create representations for younger transgender people to see a road map for what their life could look like, to see people aging and living these complicated and exciting and robust lives in many cases.”
Jess Dugan is a portrait photographer exploring issues of personal identity and documenting within the LGBTQ community. Dugan will be in Santa Fe, New Mexico this week for CENTER’s premier juried portfolio review event, the Review Santa Fe Photo Festival ‑ a weekend conference and festival for photographers seeking audience expansion and critical discussion.
To Survive on This Shore: Photographs and Interviews with Transgender and Gender nonconforming Older Adults received a 2018 Project Launch Honorable Mention from juror Sarah Hermanson Meister, Curator, Department of Photography, The Museum of Modern Art.
In a recent interview with the New York Times, Dugan explains, “We wanted to create representations of older transgender people, and gender nonconforming people, to both capture their stories, preserve their history, record some of the activism that they had been a part of,” Ms. Dugan said. “But we also wanted to create representations for younger transgender people to see a road map for what their life could look like, to see people aging and living these complicated and exciting and robust lives in many cases.”

So great to see a couple of my New Mexico favorites listed:

This luxury ranch for sale near Santa Fe sits on over 1,000 acres
Linda and Steve Blamer sketched out the design for the Blame Her Ranch home on a cocktail napkin in a bar.
From the plans on nontraditional stationery, the home became a reality and has played host to weddings and other special events for years.
It is up for sale for just under $7 million.
The home was repositioned for sale last year, said Steve Blamer, and has been on the market since. He said their home exists within a specialized market – the luxury ranch home market – which lengthens the amount of time real estate like this will be up for sale.
He also said there has been interest but he hasn't found the right buyer. An invite-only event on Sunday was created in hopes of changing that and to give people a firsthand look at the game room, home theater, gym and guest house, among the other aspects of the property.
"One of the first things out of everyone's mouth is: the pictures don't do it justice," said Blamer.
Take a look for yourself in the accompanying slideshow.
Located at 354 County Road B31A, the house sits on a 1,630-acre ranch adjacent to the 1.6-million acre Santa Fe National Forest. The home was built in 2009 and the main home and guest house have a total of 9,000 square feet. With nine bedrooms and 9.5 baths, Blame Her Ranch can sleep 24.
Blame Her markets itself with recreation in mind, noting it is near the Pecos Wilderness, which offers fishing, big game hunting, horseback riding and hiking. It also has a golf driving range.
The Blamers aren't done with the area quite yet. They told Albuquerque Business First that after Blame Her sells, they plan on building another 4,000-square-foot home adjacent to the current ranch.
"If we weren't so creative to do one more home, we may have never left," said Steve Blamer.
