The Mother's Day Races were founded in the 1950s by Los Alamos paddle boater and LANL employee, Jim "Stretch" Fretwell. At 61 years in the making, the New Mexico Mother's Day Whitewater Races are both a time-honored tradition and a hidden gem, offering many challenges for serious boaters, and they give recreational paddlers a great chance to play on the river with family and friends. The 3 day event is held in Pilar, New Mexico on the Rio Grande river.

I am a New Mexico based Adventure Riding/Rafting/SCUBA Outdoor Digital Photographer, always on the qui vive for what Nature and humans provide. Capturing an image in my camera is but the first step in an artistic process. That initial bit of information then can pass through countless permutations before being declared complete. The journey from capture to completion is a lawless territory.
