Marsden Hartley once wrote of the challenges of inhabiting New Mexico in a letter to Alfred Stieglitz. "This country is very beautiful and also difficult... It is not a country of light on things. It is a country of things in light, therefore it is a country of form, with a new presentation of light as problem." New Mexico remains a beautiful, difficult land.

Higher Elevations: Mushroom Magic in Sangre de Cristo Mountains
Things in Light has a real treat for y'all today. New Mexican artist Kimm Wiens shares Higher Elevations, a photo essay of her mushroom hunting adventure in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. These photos, taken in July 2010, brilliantly capture post-storm mountain magic. Feast your eyes on beautiful photos of mountain mushrooms -- including chanterelles, oyster 'shrooms, porcino, fly agaric, and hedgehog mushrooms -- and the lush, rain-swept landscape they call home.

I am a fifth-wave feminist and a reluctant member⸺hey, Groucho knew whereof he quipped⸺of both the fourth estate and the gig economy. I am an Albuquerque-based freelance writer, editor and social media marketing and branding+PR consultant. I remain an observant ’90s riot grrrl and a devout practitioner of halfhearted yoga posturing and zen and the art of the sentence diagram.
American Modernist painter Marsden Hartley once wrote of the challenges of inhabiting New Mexico in a letter to Georgia O'Keeffe's husband, photographer and promoter Alfred Stieglitz. Hartley wrote: "This country is very beautiful and also difficult... It is not a country of light on things. It is a country of things in light, therefore it is a country of form, with a new presentation of light as problem." While time has passed since Hartley penned these words, New Mexico remains a beautiful, difficult land.
