• New Call for Entry, The Horse (image above Tony Bonanno): As you might guess, there are a few people around New Mexico who love horses, so much so that it has come to my attention that in our 10 years of publication, we have never had an issue dedicated to these life-affirming, family oriented, four-legged friends. More details are being formulated at this time, but if you would like to gain early entry, you can click below to sign up for a $25/15 image, early-entry fee. After May 15, the entry fee will be raised to $35/10 images.
