Flying low over the Southwestern landscape in his ultralight airplane, capturing the stunning patterns left behind by ancient cultures, Adriel Heisey is bringing a new perspective to archaeology.
His photographic prints, which will be on display at the Albuquerque Museum through September, show the relics of the past not from the ground, but from the sky.
"It's a wonderful way to be introduced to some of these structures on our landscape," says Heisey, 46, from his home in Tucson. "And when they're seen in context with the surrounding topography and the surrounding cultural development, it really packs an extra punch to be able to see how these things from the deep past are situated right in the midst of our daily lives."
The photographer's web site is here.. Nothing much there except opportunities to order his books.
