Digital BW, The Print

Hi, c j.  I saw another post in response explaining the Penitente.  It's an outlawed Catholic sect, and they've been in the area for a couple of hundred years or so -- at least they haven't done the Jim Jones thing yet.  A friend of mine has a great photo of a morada (temple), but he hasn't made a habit of it.  By all accounts, they are people to avoid.  Incidentally, a little caution is called for in many places in NM, esp the pueblos (villages).  I have a portfolio from several visits over the years to the St. Joseph's Mission Church in the Laguna Pueblo (where AA made the photo of the dog in the road at sunup).  They are wonderful people, believe themselves to be descendants of the Anasazi, and will talk with you at length about their background.  Other places, a photo might be a serious problem.  I always talk for a while and ask, and if it's OK hand out some Polaroid proofs (a lot of times the locals want me to sign it!).  The first time I made a trip to Abique to see Georgia O'Keefe's house, I was warned it might be a problem.  Sure enough, when I pulled up the fence had been spray-painted "Tourist Go Home".  Now I think they have a tour once a year.

  What's a morada?
