Taos General Store

I would add this image to the list of "painterly" photographs that I have produced. There is nothing contrived in this picture--everything was as it appears. The sky resembles a painted backdrop, and the store looks like a Hollywood set. We were just driving down the street late one afternoon, when the golden light bathing the adobe structure caught my eye. I performed some minor digital magic by removing the ubiquitous, but distracting "Visa" and "Mastercard" decals from the door.
