This compact collection of many of the best of Gittings' photographs will excite all who love New Mexico. His is a magnificent oeuvre, from photographs of the ruins at Chaco Canyon to the charming chapels of northern New Mexico. His images capture the rich detail of architectural interiors as well as the sleek exteriors of the state's most contemporary buildings. Author Gussie Fauntleroy organises and introduces Gittings' images in the context of New Mexico's shelters and sanctuaries, tracing the influence of the state's earliest structures through to its most modern edifices.
