Re: PSO: Taos Pueblo

[Jack Davis]

Have a friend who recently moved to Taos and, I'm sure, for all those reason's 
you mentioned.
This will be his first winter there and
I'll be anxious to learn next spring
how he liked it.

I was only there for a few days, but I certainly found that to be the case.

Re: PSO: Taos Pueblo

[Daniel J. Matyola]

I was told that, of the 19 surviving pueblo communities in New Mexico, 11
survive by owning casinos.  One instead owns the Santa Fe Hotel and Spa,
where we stayed.  Taos and Santa Clara (Puye Pueblo) choose tourism, to a
limited extent, and the sale of native crafts.

Re: PSO: Taos Pueblo

[Ken Waller]

I spent 10 days there in total covering 2 separate visits while in trial in the 
early 2000's and found it to be a really unique enjoyable little city. Great 
food, unique shops, real western aura and wonderful art shops.

Re: PSO: Taos Pueblo

[ann sanfedele]

I'd sort of like to see the uncropped version tooactually. And I liked 
the shot for it's geometry and the point you were making with thenew 
more modern ladder..


The summer of 1956, when I lived in Taos for two months, I wouldn't go 
to the Taos Pueblo because I didn't like the idea of people gaping at 
the Pueblo Indians that lived there, as looking at their community, 
which was definitely impoverished in 1956... as"quaint"... eventually 
there were shops and such added and I came over to the realization that 
it was necessary to preserve the historic site and allow people to keep 
living there and that vistors were welcome tokeep the Pueblo alive. 
Richard and I visited in 1985and I went once more after that... probably 
back to the town of Taos, not the pueblo , about 10 timesover the years. 
New Mexico has been important to me personally on many levels ..


I ramble... and babble as it is unlikely I could ever return there

There were distractions in the foreground, so I cropped the bottom closely.

The newness of the ladder in this image is one of the reasons I took this
shot.  It stresses the fact that, unlike Mesa Verde and Puye, Taos Pueblo
is still occupied.  We were able to enter some of the units that are used
as craft stores, but not the ones that are still residential.

Re: PSO: Taos Pueblo

[ann sanfedele]

Dan -  post the other Taos pueblo shots   - #14 gives those who are not 
familiar with the site a better idea of it...


I'm especially wanting Alan COle to see that :-)

But I like this one... and I think the stairway being in our faces is 
part of the story... its certainly the best lit shots of all DAn took 
that I've seen
