Albuquerque Gold

from $40.00

Not all of Route 66 is neon. Some of it is pure gold. This is the historic Hotel Albuquerque in Old Town, captured in that perfect, buttery light of late afternoon. The sun washes over the classic adobe-style architecture, turning the walls into a canvas of soft, warm tones against a clear New Mexico sky.

It’s a quiet, elegant moment. You can almost feel the history, the way the modern tower rises behind the timeless, mission-style facade. This photograph is less about the highway's electric buzz and more about its sense of place—the warmth, the history, and the unique architectural beauty of the Southwest.

A signature piece from the "Neon Dreams & Golden Hours" chapter of "The Great American Roadtrip" collection, this print captures the 'Golden Hour' in its most serene form.

Print & Medium

This photograph is all about softness and texture—the warm, diffused golden light on the stucco, the deep greens of the shrubbery, and the smooth blue sky. A high-gloss or metallic paper would create harsh reflections and betray the image's gentle, quiet mood.

Therefore, my premium paper choice is the Breathing Color Elegance Velvet Watercolor. This is a museum-grade paper with a beautiful, subtle, textured velvet finish. It's renowned for its ability to render colors with a soft, rich fidelity and gives the print a tangible, fine-art quality. This texture will perfectly complement the architectural surfaces and make the golden light feel almost warm to the touch.

"Albuquerque Gold" is available in sizes up to 24x36 inches. Please contact me directly for custom sizes, framing, or other medium requests.
