Some cool New Mexico Insurance images:

New Update: Travel there virtually with Google Maps and slightly more accurate coordinates below!
UPDATE: See the conclusion here, and more photos here.
So here’s an odd story. My parents are moving to Las Cruces, New Mexico for my dad’s new job. Not that unusual, but these are life-long Southerners, heading off to a land they know only from John Wayne films and stories on NBC news about illegal immigration.
I wanted to give my Dad something as a going away present, since he’s spending three months there before the rest of the family follows. I didn’t want to give him the obvious cheesy cowboy hat, but instead wanted to give him an idea of how to wrap his head around the great amount of space that New Mexico is, compared to the tiny world of the Tennessee Mountians. In other words, a small invitation to go out and explore a big new world.
Since we’re both avid amateur photographers, and he’s a bona-fide GPS freak, I decided to find the location of one of Ansel Adams’ great photographs Moonrise, Hernandez, New Mexico from 1941.
Now this is the age of the internet, and I figured some enterprising soul had already found this information and all I needed was Google and about 30 seconds.
Not quite.
Apparently, I’m having that rare occurance in these days of global community when you discover that you are, indeed, having an original thought. Well, if not an original thought, at least the first one to express it in a webpage. Which is almost as good.
So what follows is the story of how I found this info, and then the info itself, preserved for the next daring soul to have this idea, so they’d better spend the five hours I’m freeing up for them by curing cancer or maybe just watching clouds. It’s all good.
My first, and most obvious stop, is the great Google Maps. Which unfortunately isn’t sure where exactly Hernandez, NM is. I could spend hours scouring that satellite image trying to find, a church with a cemetery, but I decided use a little logic first.
Since the picture is of a moonrise (assuming Ansel was better at keeping notes than usual, but that’s another story). I guessed that the road would be somewhere west of the cemetery and church in the photo and that Ansel would have been looking east to southeast in the photo. A bit more reasearch found this story:
"Driving back to their hotel following an unsuccessful day of picture making in the Chama Valley, Ansel glanced to his left and saw a fantastic event. The sky was illuminated by brightly-lit clouds in the east and the white crosses in the cemetery of the old adobe church seemed to glow from within. He nearly crashed the car as he screeched to a halt in the roadside ditch, dashed out, yelling at Michael and Cedric to find the tripod, the camera, the meter, etc.
"Ansel rushed to assemble and mount the 23.5 inch component of his Cooke Series XV lens on his 8 x 10-inch view camera loaded with Ansco Isopan film and find the Wratten G filter. All was in place, but he could not find his Weston light meter. He remembered that the moon reflects 250 foot candles and he based his exposure upon that fact. He quickly computed a setting of 1/60 at f/8, but with the addition of the filter it became 1/20 at f/8. To achieve the same exposure with greater depth of field he stopped the lens to f/32 and released the shutter for one second. He prepared to make a second exposure for insurance. Dramatically, the light faded forever from the foreground."
-"Ansel Adams: Some Thoughts About Ansel And About Moonrise", by Mary Street Alinder
Well, this gave me a bit more info. He shot it from the side of the road, so I don’t need to be looking across the barren wastes of the desert of New Mexico. Now all I need to find is what roads and churches existed in this part of New Mexico in 1941. Fortunately there is one governmental entitiy that seems to take pride in being out of date, and for my purposes, this is perfect. For not seeing the irony in making 1954 maps available in hi-resoultion TIFF format available on the web, I salute you, USGS.
I assume that Google wasn’t totally lost in finding Hernandez, and that the closest town really is Española, so a quick search on it finds this intriging article with the phrase: "Ansel Adams’ famous "Moonrise, Hernandez, New Mexico, 1941," considered by some the finest photographic black-and-white print ever made, was taken just north of Española." Okay, now we’re rocking.
One more super helpful bit came from this forum which included a photo of the scene as is looks now (about halfway down the page).
Grabbing the topo for the San Juan Pueblo quad, I find there is listed the town (?) of Hernandez, with a single church with a cemetery on the east side of the road, US 84, to be exact. I fire up Photoshop and Google maps (Hybrid mode, God love it) side by side and take off to find the intriguing bit that is the image above. (thanks again USGS!).
Now 50 years is a lot of time for change so who knows what’s there now. Since I’m using satellite views, I can match scales reasonably closely, but there’s some pretty major changes even in that part of the world, as you’ll see in a moment. So, my main knowledge is that I’m looking for a church with a white metal roof that faces east to southeast.
Careful scrolling and a comparison of various roads (to preserve my sanity I’m assuming that roads won’t change that drastically) I finally find it. Google Maps includes latitude and longitude in the URL so with a quick trip to a handy-dandy lat/lon-GPS caclulator I have my answer.
So. Thanks for sitting through this long rambling tale, and as a small reward for those with patience: here is the church. If you’re feeling randy here’s the GPS coords: 36 3.4320, 106 7.0166
So go out and shoot it, post it and share it. I’d love to hear about it.
Gold Avenue, Albuquerque, New Mexico, Near the Occidental Life Building
Image by Ken Lund
The Occidental Life Building is a historic building located at 305 Gold Avenue SW in downtown Albuquerque, New Mexico, in the United States. It is a unique example of U.S. Venetian Gothic Revival architecture, modeled after Doge’s Palace in Venice. It was designed by Henry C. Trost of the El Paso architectural firm Trost & Trost, and built for the Occidental Life Insurance Company in 1917.
The building has street facades on the south and east sides, facing Gold Avenue and 3rd street, respectively. These are faced with bright white terra cotta tile and decorated with elaborate floral patterns. A row of pointed arches runs along each facade below a row of quatrefoil windows. When originally built, the Occidental Life Building had an overhanging cornice and wide arcades between the arches and the building proper. After a 1934 fire gutted the building, the roofline was rebuilt to more closely resemble Doge’s and the interior office space was expanded, removing the arcades. The interior was rebuilt as a two-story office building in 1981, keeping the terra cotta exterior intact.

The Gold Building (also known as the New Mexico Bank & Trust Building) is a 14-story office building located at 320 Gold Avenue SW in downtown Albuquerque, New Mexico. When the building was completed in 1968 it was one of the tallest in the city at 62 m (203 ft). It now ranks sixth.
The building is rectangular in plan and sits on a larger one-story base. The east and west walls of the Gold Building are windowless expanses of reddish brick, much like the neighboring Simms Building. The north facade is clad in dark glass that neatly reflects the image of the Bank of Albuquerque Tower a few blocks away. The south elevation, also glass, is punctuated by a protruding brick-faced elevator shaft. The architects were W.C. Kruger & Associates.

What Is A Captive Insurance
What is a captive insurance company?
One of the biggest challenges facing businesses today is risk management. A tool that risk managers need to consider is a captive insurance company.The benefit of a captive insurance is that it allows a company to manage risk itself rather than depend on a commercial carrier. Standard risk management policies such as product and property liability coverage may not cover hidden risks such as loss of a key customer, supplier or data; theft or forgery by an employee; or breach of data, among others.
Once formed, the captive insurance company functions the same as a traditional insurance carrier, issuing a policy and receiving premium payments from its parent company.

New Update: Travel there virtually with Google Maps and slightly more accurate coordinates below!
UPDATE: See the conclusion here, and more photos here.
So here’s an odd story. My parents are moving to Las Cruces, New Mexico for my dad’s new job. Not that unusual, but these are life-long Southerners, heading off to a land they know only from John Wayne films and stories on NBC news about illegal immigration.
I wanted to give my Dad something as a going away present, since he’s spending three months there before the rest of the family follows. I didn’t want to give him the obvious cheesy cowboy hat, but instead wanted to give him an idea of how to wrap his head around the great amount of space that New Mexico is, compared to the tiny world of the Tennessee Mountians. In other words, a small invitation to go out and explore a big new world.
Since we’re both avid amateur photographers, and he’s a bona-fide GPS freak, I decided to find the location of one of Ansel Adams’ great photographs Moonrise, Hernandez, New Mexico from 1941.
Now this is the age of the internet, and I figured some enterprising soul had already found this information and all I needed was Google and about 30 seconds.
Not quite.
Apparently, I’m having that rare occurance in these days of global community when you discover that you are, indeed, having an original thought. Well, if not an original thought, at least the first one to express it in a webpage. Which is almost as good.
So what follows is the story of how I found this info, and then the info itself, preserved for the next daring soul to have this idea, so they’d better spend the five hours I’m freeing up for them by curing cancer or maybe just watching clouds. It’s all good.
My first, and most obvious stop, is the great Google Maps. Which unfortunately isn’t sure where exactly Hernandez, NM is. I could spend hours scouring that satellite image trying to find, a church with a cemetery, but I decided use a little logic first.
Since the picture is of a moonrise (assuming Ansel was better at keeping notes than usual, but that’s another story). I guessed that the road would be somewhere west of the cemetery and church in the photo and that Ansel would have been looking east to southeast in the photo. A bit more reasearch found this story:
"Driving back to their hotel following an unsuccessful day of picture making in the Chama Valley, Ansel glanced to his left and saw a fantastic event. The sky was illuminated by brightly-lit clouds in the east and the white crosses in the cemetery of the old adobe church seemed to glow from within. He nearly crashed the car as he screeched to a halt in the roadside ditch, dashed out, yelling at Michael and Cedric to find the tripod, the camera, the meter, etc.
"Ansel rushed to assemble and mount the 23.5 inch component of his Cooke Series XV lens on his 8 x 10-inch view camera loaded with Ansco Isopan film and find the Wratten G filter. All was in place, but he could not find his Weston light meter. He remembered that the moon reflects 250 foot candles and he based his exposure upon that fact. He quickly computed a setting of 1/60 at f/8, but with the addition of the filter it became 1/20 at f/8. To achieve the same exposure with greater depth of field he stopped the lens to f/32 and released the shutter for one second. He prepared to make a second exposure for insurance. Dramatically, the light faded forever from the foreground."
-"Ansel Adams: Some Thoughts About Ansel And About Moonrise", by Mary Street Alinder
Well, this gave me a bit more info. He shot it from the side of the road, so I don’t need to be looking across the barren wastes of the desert of New Mexico. Now all I need to find is what roads and churches existed in this part of New Mexico in 1941. Fortunately there is one governmental entitiy that seems to take pride in being out of date, and for my purposes, this is perfect. For not seeing the irony in making 1954 maps available in hi-resoultion TIFF format available on the web, I salute you, USGS.
I assume that Google wasn’t totally lost in finding Hernandez, and that the closest town really is Española, so a quick search on it finds this intriging article with the phrase: "Ansel Adams’ famous "Moonrise, Hernandez, New Mexico, 1941," considered by some the finest photographic black-and-white print ever made, was taken just north of Española." Okay, now we’re rocking.
One more super helpful bit came from this forum which included a photo of the scene as is looks now (about halfway down the page).
Grabbing the topo for the San Juan Pueblo quad, I find there is listed the town (?) of Hernandez, with a single church with a cemetery on the east side of the road, US 84, to be exact. I fire up Photoshop and Google maps (Hybrid mode, God love it) side by side and take off to find the intriguing bit that is the image above. (thanks again USGS!).
Now 50 years is a lot of time for change so who knows what’s there now. Since I’m using satellite views, I can match scales reasonably closely, but there’s some pretty major changes even in that part of the world, as you’ll see in a moment. So, my main knowledge is that I’m looking for a church with a white metal roof that faces east to southeast.
Careful scrolling and a comparison of various roads (to preserve my sanity I’m assuming that roads won’t change that drastically) I finally find it. Google Maps includes latitude and longitude in the URL so with a quick trip to a handy-dandy lat/lon-GPS caclulator I have my answer.
So. Thanks for sitting through this long rambling tale, and as a small reward for those with patience: here is the church. If you’re feeling randy here’s the GPS coords: 36 3.4320, 106 7.0166
So go out and shoot it, post it and share it. I’d love to hear about it.

Insurance professionals are subject to state administrative rules and regulations and also to the legal concept of agency. We will cover the role of agency, with its associated topics of power and authority. Remember that an authorized agent has the power and authority to act on behalf of another.
The concept of agency is important to the relationship between an insurance professional and his/her carrier. Questions of agency also arise regarding the relationship between the insurance professional and his/her client. Finally, the relationship between the client and the insurance professional acting as a broker is unique and will also be covered.
Role Distinction
Insurance professionals act in three primary capacities for purposes of the law of agency. They may be captive agents, brokers, or consultants.
Captive agents solicit business on behalf of their particular insurance company. Insurance brokers act on behalf of individual clients in order to secure needed insurance coverage. Consultants provide advice as to the type of coverage needed to be obtained by a client. For this service they are paid a fee and do not depend on commissions. Throughout this article, we will focus on the captive agent and the broker.
Insurance Agent
The general definition of an agent is one who is appointed by an insurer to solicit applications for a policy of insurance or to negotiate a policy of insurance on the insurer’s behalf. An agent could also be a partnership or corporation. The entity is appointed by the insurer, and receives a written and signed contract from the insurance company. As part of this process, the insurance agent will be licensed in the state where such contracts are to be solicited.
Agency Basics
A valid agency relationship between an insurance professional and an insurance carrier rests on two fundamental principals. These principals are the concepts of power and authority.
The agent receives power to sell insurance on behalf of a carrier through his/her agency agreement. Through this agency agreement the insurance professional is given the power to contractually bind the insurance carrier. This principal of power is extremely broad.
An agent also derives his/her authority from the agency contract. The agency contract usually authorizes the agent to:
Solicit insurance applications
Describe the various coverages offered by the insurance carrier.
Provide service to the company’s policy-owner.
Collect needed premiums to initiate the insurance coverage.
One must remember that the power and authority granted by the agency agreement is not the same as obtaining a state license.

Amazingly, New Mexico agent Larry Marshall’s father purchased his first life insurance policy at the age of 15. So from an early age, life insurance played an important part in the legacy of the patriarch of the Marshall family. But when Larry was a young agent, he still found it difficult to discuss life insurance with his father — so difficult in fact, that the life insurance he sold his father early in his career was the result of joint work. His father’s belief in the value of life insurance was never lost on Larry, and the importance of the role of life insurance agent was only reinforced for him after the recent death of his father left his mother with enough benefit to pay off farm expenses and continue caring for their family without financial worry.

Nice New Mexico Insurance Photos
A few nice New Mexico Insurance images I found:
Gold Avenue, Albuquerque, New Mexico, Near the Occidental Life Building
Image by Ken Lund
The Occidental Life Building is a historic building located at 305 Gold Avenue SW in downtown Albuquerque, New Mexico, in the United States. It is a unique example of U.S. Venetian Gothic Revival architecture, modeled after Doge’s Palace in Venice. It was designed by Henry C. Trost of the El Paso architectural firm Trost & Trost, and built for the Occidental Life Insurance Company in 1917.
The building has street facades on the south and east sides, facing Gold Avenue and 3rd street, respectively. These are faced with bright white terra cotta tile and decorated with elaborate floral patterns. A row of pointed arches runs along each facade below a row of quatrefoil windows. When originally built, the Occidental Life Building had an overhanging cornice and wide arcades between the arches and the building proper. After a 1934 fire gutted the building, the roofline was rebuilt to more closely resemble Doge’s and the interior office space was expanded, removing the arcades. The interior was rebuilt as a two-story office building in 1981, keeping the terra cotta exterior intact.

The Gold Building and Occidental Life Building as Seen from Central Avenue, Albuquerque, New Mexico
Image by Ken Lund
The Gold Building (also known as the New Mexico Bank & Trust Building) is a 14-story office building located at 320 Gold Avenue SW in downtown Albuquerque, New Mexico. When the building was completed in 1968 it was one of the tallest in the city at 62 m (203 ft). It now ranks sixth.
The building is rectangular in plan and sits on a larger one-story base. The east and west walls of the Gold Building are windowless expanses of reddish brick, much like the neighboring Simms Building. The north facade is clad in dark glass that neatly reflects the image of the Bank of Albuquerque Tower a few blocks away. The south elevation, also glass, is punctuated by a protruding brick-faced elevator shaft. The architects were W.C. Kruger & Associates.
