On August 23rd and 24th Santa Fe celebrated it's 87th annual Indian Market. There were about 1,100 artists participating in the market this year. On Sunday the Native American Clothing Contest took place. This was Jeri Ah-be-hill's last year volunteering her time to this spectacular event which is popular with locals and visitors alike. These photos were taken for New Mexico Magazine. The photo portfolio ran in the August 2009 issue.

THESE PHOTOS ARE FOR YOUR VIEWING PLEASURE ONLY. NONE OF THEM ARE FOR RESALE.

Hi, Ann. Didn't make to Indian Market this year, but now feel I have a sense of the colors and artistry and people that make it so wonderous. Thank you. Chip

fabulous of course. But a bit static for me. Your usual movement and excitement is missing from these. But I'm sure it is what the magazine wants...and you did a beautiful job for them.
