Mexico

San Miguel de Allende, like Santa Fe, New Mexico, is filled with high-end consumer art, most of which is pure artifice.  The artist is limited only by their imagination and skill.  That sounds ideal until one realizes that those are also limitations: just one person’s imagination and skill are expressed.  Instead, my favorite art in the city is David Luna'a assembled trees and the cantera sidewalk pavers, both of which are unique collaborations between artisans and nature.  Photography can be a similar, but less intimate, collaboration.
