Stan Ford, Nature Photographer Showing at the Otero Artspace 

 Otero Arts welcomes back Stan Ford, nature photographer, for a solo show in October.  The exhibit continues through October and closes on Saturday the 24th at 4pm. Free exhibition hours are Thursday thru Sunday 1 pm to 4 pm. 

This past May, Ford was the artist-in-residence at the Valles Caldera National Park. Ford said, “That was a thrill and a bucket list experience for me.” 

 This was the third time he has been selected by the National Park Service to teach photography at one of their parks. “We teach the basics of night/astro-photography and shoot at different locations in the preserve like Longmire’s Cabin (from the TV series “Longmire”) and The “Missing” Cabin (from Ron Howard’s film starring Tommy Lee Jones and Cate Blanchet).”Most of the workshops have been centered upon night photography. 

The classes are free and there is always a lengthy waitlist. This year the class was fortunate to see the Northern Lights,” said Ford.
