We're turning one year old in October and what a great year it's been! Several of our members have been featured on the International Web Site, Red Bubble and our work has shown up in electronic magazines, commercial publications, and several film and photography sites. One of our founding members, Brian, was prominently featured on MSNBC! A year ago, none of us could have imagined 737,428 visits to this site - but thats what we had as of September 10th! So, THANK YOU! Keep coming back - we do this for you!a

Welcome to BlueMesa Photography. We are a group of amateur photographers with a shared appreciation for the photographic arts and a love of the American southwest.
We are fortunate to live in the rugged, yet beautiful landscape that is New Mexico, With its six distinct geographic regions, New Mexico offers a variety of terrain and climate that includes the southern rocky mountains of the north, the southern high plains of the southeast, and the Colorado Plateau of the northwest. Predominant on almost any New Mexican horizon will be some evidence of volcanic activity. New Mexico has more uneroded volcanoes than does any other state or region on the continent. In New Mexico, volcanism is not a thing of the distant past – the last eruption was just 3000 years ago and the resulting massive lava flow can be seen at El Malpais (Badlands) National Monument. Travel a few miles north and you’ll enter the Bisti Badlands, where exposed columns of layered coal, silt, shale, and mudstone create an otherworldly landscape of caprock formations known as hoodoos. A stunning collection of very majestic hoodoos are to be found at Tent Rocks National Park, in north central New Mexico.
