"One day, while living in New Mexico in the late 1970s and ʹ80s, I met the young photographer Kevin Bubriski, who had moved here like so many of us, coming from elsewhere. He showed me his prints of Nepal, and I knew right away that he was a true photographer. Kevin stayed, like many of us, for years, [capturing] the different lifestyles of this state, moving from south to north, from Santa Fe chic to Albuquerque real, and on up to Taos."--Bernard Plossu Kevin Bubriski arrived in New Mexico the first week of January 1981.

"One day, while living in New Mexico in the late 1970s and ʹ80s, I met the young photographer Kevin Bubriski, who had moved here like so many of us, coming from elsewhere. He showed me his prints of Nepal, and I knew right away that he was a true photographer. Kevin stayed, like many of us, for years, [capturing] the different lifestyles of this state, moving from south to north, from Santa Fe chic to Albuquerque real, and on up to Taos."--Bernard Plossu Kevin Bubriski arrived in New Mexico the first week of January 1981. Fresh out of the Peace Corps, he had spent four years in Nepal photographing its remote mountain villages. He enrolled to study documentary filmmaking at Santa Fe's Anthropology Film Center. He met Michael Hausman, producer of the film The Ballad of Gregorio Cortez that was shooting locally and hired on as still photographer for the production. Bubriski soon turned to photojournalism, covering news stories and photographing local people and events from the Balloon Fiesta to dances and feast days at San Juan, Santa Clara, and Tesuque Pueblos. He also spent time with a dozen incarcerated men at the New Mexico State Penitentiary, photographing them with a 4x5 field camera. In between, he would connect with photographers at the center of Santa Fe's thriving photography community. They included French photographer Bernard Plossu, who introduced him to Pierre Mahaim, Walter Nelson, Mary Peck, Doug Keats, Ed Ranney, Siegfried Halus, and Paul Caponigro. By the summer of 1983, longing to return to his documentary work in Nepal, Bubriski left New Mexico. THE NEW MEXICANS presents nearly two hundred images selected from his "New Mexico period" of 1981 to 1983. At the heart of Kevin Bubriski's work are the faces of the people he met and photographed at home, at work, and at play in the Land of Enchantment: the New Mexicans.
