• New Call for Entry, "The Horse" (image above, Landry Major): 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. The July/August 2024 issue of Shadow & Light Magazine will feature nothing but horses! 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 low $25/15 image, early-entry fee. After May 15, the entry fee will be raised to $35/10 images. That's $10 more and 5 images less! By the way, you don't have to live in New Mexico to enter!

••I am opening up my very popular series, One-2-One Coaching, which is comprised of six one-hour, in-person meetings, with at least one out-and-about shoot. I am opening this up again because I will not be teaching my regular summer classes at UNM Continue Education. I want to have an "open" summer where I can work more closely with photographers who want to do more with their photography. If you are a previous student of mine, you can access a special price by clicking the last line of the this link to my personal site, Tim Anderson Studio.
