Photography by Mike Spieth

When I moved southwest my opportunities for photography increased tenfold. I was in love with one of the most colorful mixes of cultures and landscapes in the country—Santa Fe and north-central New Mexico. Soon the badlands of the San Juan Basin caught my eye. Year after year I never ran out of new photo leads to follow, most of them within a few hours of home. Now I’d like to show you images from an amazing part of my life, along with some older photos. I hope you like them!
