SUMMARY:Culture Series: Abandoned History
DESCRIPTION:Researching and photographing New Mexico’s ghost towns and settlements is the subject of the next Culture Series presentation at the New Mexico Farm & Ranch Heritage Museum. \nThe Culture Series\, organized and presented by the Friends of the New Mexico Farm & Ranch Heritage Museum\, is at 7 p.m. on April 13 in the Museum’s Theater. Admission is free. \nThe title for this presentation is: Abandoned History: Uncovering The Stories of New Mexico’s Settlements & Ghost Towns. Presenters Bridget Harrington and Michael Moore are Albuquerque-based photographers and documentary historians working together as Enchanted Byways Photography. \nThey will talk about their process of researching these sites\, everything from using Google Earth to find the settlements to substantiating details using a variety of resources. Harrington and Moore will provide snapshots of four southern New Mexico communities and the stories left behind. \nBoth lifelong photographers who don’t make their primary living from photography\, Harrington is a graphic artist and marketing communications specialist and Moore is an engineer\, small engine pilot\, and son of a National Geographic photographer. They met on a web group for New Mexico photographers and quickly learned that they have a joint passion for not only photography and the state of New Mexico\, but also for history and socio-cultural mysteries. What started as a project to see the state grew into a quest to create compelling images of little-known places and share the buried stories behind them. \nUsing out-of-print books\, rail maps\, cemetery records\, and old newspapers that were published when these places were vital\, they strive to make history real\, relatable\, and relevant. Moore has spent over 2\,600 hours on research to create a pinned Google Earth map – with layers of settlements\, pueblitos\, and features like mines\, old rail lines\, scars from wagon paths\, and shipping points – that they use for navigation. In their work\, viewers can not only see what is left of places whose names are not widely known\, but also learn about the lives of the people who lived and worked there … everyday people of no prominence who nevertheless had roles in building the framework of the state we live in today. What they also find is that through the progress of history\, many things about humanity – family bonds\, faith\, the desire to create meaning in life\, necessity and ingenuity. You can find their work on Facebook\, under NM Byways\, and on Instagram under @enchantedbywaysphoto.

SUMMARY:Exhibit Opening: Grace in Motion: Photography by Nirmal Khandan
DESCRIPTION:The delicate beauty of hummingbirds\, their incredible movement\, and their critical work as pollinators are all captured in a new photography exhibit at the New Mexico Farm & Ranch Heritage Museum. \n“Grace in Motion” features photography by Nirmal Khandan. The show opens with a reception from 1:30-3:30 p.m. on April 15 in the Museum’s Arts Corridor. Admission to the opening reception is free. Regular Museum admission is required to see the rest of the Museum. \n“As a nature/wildlife photographer\, I have been sharing with my family\, friends\, and social media the joy and pleasure of creating photographs of hummingbirds\,” said Khandan. “Through this print exhibit\, I hope to share my photography with wider audiences fascinated by hummingbirds and their aerial acrobatics.” \nThe exhibit features 36 portraits of hummingbird species common to the region interacting with local flora. The photographs\, mounted on acrylic\, metal\, or canvas\, are for sale and Khandan said the names of those who purchase one of the prints at the reception will be put into a drawing to receive $25 off their purchase. He will draw two names. \n“I hope viewers will appreciate the up-close view of nature’s mutualism as the hummingbirds take just what they need from the flowers without harming them in any way\, while helping them with pollination\,” Khandan said. \nA civil engineering professor and Ed & Harold Foreman Endowed Chair at New Mexico State University\, Khandan began photographing birds in his native Sri Lanka and continued his hobby after moving to Las Cruces in 1998. \nWhile Khandan’s technical expertise and talent in composition are evident\, there’s much more to his work. Through this exhibit\, he also hopes to raise public awareness about the valuable ecosystem services that hummingbirds provide through pollination.
