"The Living Room of Taos" - The Adobe Bar
The story of the inn begins near the turn of the 19th century, when Dr. Thomas Martin learned Taos was without a physician. In response, he and wife Helen, bought a sprawling adobe near the plaza and he devoted his life to taking care of the locals.
Helen was an artist and sister-in-law of one of the Taos founders. She supported her fellow artists in town by helping found the Taos Society of Artists in the Martins’ dining room in 1912. Later, she offered rental housing to writers and artists.
Doc Martin died in the mid-’30s, the same year the inn, Taos’ only hotel, burned down. Helen bought the property surrounding the courtyard and in 1936 opened the Hotel Martin. It became a favorite watering hole for artists, musicians, politicians and an occasional movie star.
The classic neon Thunderbird sign was installed in 1946 and it is the only neon allowed in the historic district.
As a kid I was fascinated with photographs. Look, Life magazine. National Geographic. That well-captured interplay of light and shadow...the notion of people, places and moments - all suspended in time. My first "real" camera was a Minolta Srt101. I was seduced. As a teenager, I learned how to develop film while working at Wyle Laboratories in El Segundo, and I still recall the smell of the developer...my eyes adjusting to the red filter light...and the sheer magic and delight of watching images begin to emerge. Life, family and a career as a teacher and psychologist intervened, not to mention a few more film cameras. Eventually, there was digital. Hah! Liberation! Photography is the creative medium that allows me to share...
