Mike Magers Retablo

Michael Magers‘ interest in photography began as a young adult learning the basics on his father’s Canon AE-1.  However, his path to the lens took the long way around as he obtained two Masters degrees and focused instead on building a successful career as an investment manager.  A trip to Africa and the opportunity to experience wildlife in an intimate setting allowed him to reconnect with the power of a simple, beautifully composed image.  From that point on, he was seldom without a camera, documenting both his travels and his day-to-day experiences as a resident of New York City.

Last year we held an auction in Casa Mezcal of retablos (ex-votos) to benefit the Mexican Cultural Institute and this was one of the donations. For some reason, I never posted this. I am doing it to create interest in the artist’s work.
