These are the front doors of the abandoned Tom Montoya and Son Grocery, Dry Goods, and Hardware store on US-285 in the nearly abandoned town of Encino, New Mexico.

The town must have been a flourishing place at one time, because there is another abandoned grocery store across the street. Tom Montoya and Son is in the same building as the abandoned post office.

I had visited this town four years earlier, but did not get to do much photography because of bad weather. I didn't make it back there before I had to move back to Indiana. I took advantage of my time in New Mexico when I drove out there in August, 2011 to go back to Encino.

Purchase Prints
by Christopher Crawford

All of my prints are available framed or unframed. I use black metal Neilsen & Bainbridge frames with white cotton unbuffered museum board for the mat and backing board for maximum archival protection. Photographs are printed on an Epson pigment printer using Epson's archival ultrachrome inset for long life.

Credit card payment is handled through Paypal. You do not have to have a Paypal account. When you checkout, you will be taken to Paypal's site. If you have a Paypal account, sign in and approve the payment.

If you do not have a Paypal account, and do not want to sign up for one, there is a link on the Paypal page that says "Don't have a Paypal Account?" Click it to pay without signing up. It will accept your credit card like a normal credit card payment.

Prints usually ship within 7 days. This allows time for me to make your print, and if you have ordered a framed print, to frame and mat it.

Thank you for supporting my work.
