So it's time for a contest, which I don't do very often. I need to name the 3 new skeletons I bought at Costco. Although they are not anatomically incorrect, I feel they look like boys. So I am looking for 3 boys names. I will give a free 8-10 photo of your choice from SamieSam's shop on Etsy:

HOW TO ENTER:

1. Leave a comment below with a link from an item you like from Sam's Etsy shop: http://www.etsy.com/shop/SamieSam copied and pasted into the comment.

2. NAMES !! I will choose the 3 names, and give a signed photo to each name winner. You may enter more than once with a different name suggestion. If I choose more than one of your names, you get more than one photo!

3. Contest ends August 30th at midnight mountain time.

Easy right?

Day 256 The Plaza Cafe, Santa Fe, New Mexico

256

My favorite picture of our trip to Santa Fe. At the Plaza Cafe we had a delicious breakfast! There is a 1 foot mirror that runs at eye height, and Daniel Kronberg too a photo with his phone, of him taking a photo with his phone of Sam and I, and Daniel. Sam didn't eat much.

Each day is a gift, open now.

Day 254 Spanish Market, Santa Fe, New Mexico

Day 254
Spanish Market Part 2

Mark Nunez West a tile maker. Fabulous work: rocktile@hotmail.com.

Julian Romero gets a big squeeze from Sam. We have "American Gothic" on our shot list. She loved his t-shirt.

Anita Rodriguez really moved me with her work. Crypto Jews were the subject of several pieces.

Haha Sam! Paper maskes and other tremendous pieces by Raymond Sandoval.

Each day is a gift, open now.

Day 253 Spanish Market, Santa Fe, New Mexico

Day 253
As I do every year I am in town...I go Spanish Market in Santa Fe. What makes me get up at 4am, coffee laden, drive up to Santa Fe? Why so early? Because I have been buying skeleton art there for years. In the contemporary section, there are many fine artists whose subject matter is skeletons and skull.
Sam in tow we drove with our friend Daniel as the sun rose over the mountains on our right, and the flat topped mesas on our left. At 7AM the crowds have not massed.

Sam gets her first view of Santa Fe's Plaza.

A rare photo of me, and Sammie Sam taken by our friend Daniel.

I cannot remember this wonderful artist's name...if it comes to me I will change this.

Al Trujillo, a New Mexico custom knife maker. His table became swamped with people right after I took this shot. By Al and Karen.

Each day is a gift, open now.
