Five films from the hugely popular sci-fi franchise. In 'The Fly' (1958), a scientist (David Hedison) is obsessed with developing a molecular matter transmitter. When he attempts to test the invention himself, he is unwittingly joined by a companion - a fly that has sneaked into the transportation pod with him. The consequences of the experiment soon become clear, as the scientist begins to take on fly-like characteristics. 'Return of the Fly' (1959) sees the original scientist's son reconstructing the matter transporter which turned his father into an insect, with the young man's experiments leading him down the same insectoid path. In 'Curse of the Fly' (1965) the plot again revolves around the Delambre family, although this time it is the scientist's grandson, Henri Delambre (Brian Donlevy), who becomes obsessed with transporter experiments to the dismay of his two sons, who want to live normal lives and forget about their grandfather's invention. Henri's oldest son, Martin (George Baker), marries a young woman who just escaped from a mental hospital. After Martin's new wife discovers a closet filled with deranged humans left over from failed teleportation experiments, the police are called and Henri attempts to flee using the infamous transporter. 'The Fly' (1986) is the Oscar-winning remake of the 1958 horror classic. Scientist Seth Brundle (Jeff Goldblum), experimenting with transmitting matter uses himself as a guinea-pig, unaware that a fly has got into the machinery. As he embarks on a relationship with Veronica Quaife (Geena Davis), the journalist covering his project, his body slowly begins to take on fly-like characteristics. 'The Fly 2' (1989) is the sequel to the 1986 movie. Dr Seth Brundle is no more, but he has left behind a gruesome legacy: the teleportation device which transformed him into a human fly, and a son, Martin (Matthew Moore/Harley Cross). Infected with his father's insect metabolism, Martin's growth is hugely accelerated, and he is soon a fully grown man (Eric Stoltz). When he discovers the remains of his father's experiment, Martin decides to pick up where Seth left off.
El Rancho de las Golondrinas (The Ranch of the Swallows), a Spanish Colonial living history museum located in La Cienega, just south of Santa Fe, New Mexico, has enchanted and educated visitors with its natural beauty, annual festivals, and special events since its establishment as a museum in 1972. Drawing from archival materials, contemporary research, and family records, Padilla reconstructs the early history of Las Golondrinas from its beginnings to its purchase by the Curtin family and its establishment by the Curtin-Paloheimo family as a museum dedicated to preserving the history and culture of Spanish Colonial New Mexico.

Through photographs and interviews, this book is an extraordinarily intimate glimpse into the creative spaces and minds of fifty-two New Mexico artists whose work environments are as varied as the artwork produced in them. Among those represented are contemporary painters, sculptors, printmakers, ceramic and textile artists, video and conceptual artists living in the art capitals of Taos and New Mexico and in many remote locales throughout the state. These artist studios defy generalisation, and the interview-based portraits and photographs document a range of creative approaches, both practical and aesthetic, that these artists bring to the task of organising and inhabiting their creative spaces. Influential Santa Fe artist Eliseo Rodriguez was born eighty years ago in a house on Canyon Road, in Santa Fe's historic art district. He and his family 'hand-dug' what became a two-room adobe studio, since expanded to thirteen. He believes he has painted in every one of the rooms. Taos painter Earl Stroh has a cabinet with eighteen narrow drawers holding pastels organised by colour -- a legacy from his tutor and friend Andrew Dasburg. restored Victorian hotel in Belen. Chicago's studio is an old parlour, stripped down and painted white. For Agnes Martin, balance is found in a small Taos studio, her third New Mexico art space. At 91, in three and a half hours of painting a day, she continues to paint the way she sees.
