Chile Peppers! ~ A New Mexico tradition
Canon 5D, 24-70mm f/2.8L
It’s chile pepper drying time in New Mexico! In late summer and early fall the chilies are harvested and hung to dry so we can have chile year round. What does this have to do with photography? It means we have a very unique type of fall color to shoot in New Mexico. Fresh chile ristras are hanging everywhere along with buckets of chilies waiting to be strung up. I’m quickly filling up my hard-drive shooting New Mexico’s ‘fall color’.
