John McCauleyBorn and raised in New England, John McCauley moved from Boston to Santa Fe in 2006 to become an art director at Outside magazine. He thought he’d stay in New Mexico only a few years, but more than a decade later, Santa Fe has become his home.

The New Mexico Magazine art director relishes the chance to get into nature, hunting, fishing, exploring old ruins, and rambling through national forests with his wife and their 17-month-old junior ranger.

When he’s not hooking cutthroats or hitting the trail, you just might find him scouring thrift stores in search of a Billy the Kid tintype. 


Carolyn GrahamCarolyn Graham has worked for regional and special interest magazines for more than 20 years and has been a fan of New Mexico Magazine since she was old enough to read. She grew up in Las Cruces and earned a bachelor’s degree in journalism from New Mexico State University.

Most recently, she served as editor in chief of New Mexico Journey, the AAA member publication published by the Auto Club of Southern California. While her duties as CEO at New Mexico Magazine keep her busy, she still relishes writing and photographing for the magazine whenever she can.


Gabriella MarksGabriella Marks is a Santa Fe–based editorial and commercial photographer. Originally from San Francisco, she arrived in New Mexico a decade ago on pure intuition, but knows why she stays: the spectacular high-desert light, the lenticular clouds, and the humbling experience of urging a single squash plant from the dry, clay soil and ancient pueblo pottery shards in the garden. Her respect for and relationships with the farmers and chefs in the region grows daily.

Her work is part of The FENCE, a touring exhibit that will appear in eight cities in North America in 2018. Her work is also in the permanent collection of the New Mexico History Museum. Marks serves on the national board of the American Society of Media Photographers. ASMP New Mexico advocates the highest standards of professional photography, offering programs, seminars, and timely news and providing business support to its members, encouraging education, and promoting camaraderie in the larger photographic community in New Mexico. gabriellamarksphotography.com
