Daryl Black
Author of A Place Like No Other: people of an enchanted land (2002, Sunstone Press) photographer and writer Daryl Black is a self-described late bloomer. Although she was interested in photography and writing as a teenager, she didn't publish her first photograph until December 1980. She has worked in radio and editorial capacities since then. Her photographs and writing have been published in New Mexico Magazine, The Santa Fean, The New Mexican, the Albuquerque Journal, Organic Gardening, Rocky Mountain Gardener, Adventure West Magazine, and The Walking Magazine, among others. In 1995, as part of a photography course project, she began to photograph people around New Mexico. The project developed a life (and mind) of its own and eventually evolved into A Place Like No Other. It was a labor of love. Black recently did a similar project, photographing over 100 people involved in the planning, design, and building of the new public library in Farmington, New Mexico. Details are her interest, whether they are parts of a flower, tree bark, or wrinkles and smiles. She lives with her husband and assorted wildlife in Taos County.
FRED BLACK A retired American Airlines pilot and graduate of the University of New Mexico School of Architecture, Fred Black is a registered architect with a small practice specializing in sustainable and passive solar designs. As a 35-year resident of the state with a life long interest in design, he has developed an appreciation for Southwestern art and weaving. This interest eventually led him to Tierra Wools, in Los Ojos, New Mexico, where he learned to weave. Fred lives with his wife in the high sagebrush country of western Taos County where he is fortunate to utilize wool from churro sheep raised and dyed by neighbor Connie Taylor. |
