About this title

Review

The couple's intention was not to document Ghost Ranch, but rather to answer the question of what Ghost ranch meant to them and how to interpret those feelings through a lens on a flat piece of light-sensitive material. The answers Scheinbaum and Russek found to their question have been the subject of an exhibition at the Santa Fe Museum of Fine Arts and are beautifully reproduced in the book Ghost Ranch: Land of Light. -- Peterson Photographic
