What Once Was

Once people walked on these floors and these stairs. Now they are no more.


Available

There is lots of available office space. I found this excellent example of a brand new and never occupied building. The lines of it are modern and sharp, so it did serve my purposes of creating an image on this overcast day.


Communication

A very big satellite dish. It was either for a very big job or old technology. Either way, it made for an imposing subject in front of the direct sunlight beaming down on it.


Feelin’ Crabby

I recently took a short kayak trip on a river that emptied into the Caribbean Sea at Tres Rios in Mexico. After the trip towards the ocean our guide asked everyone if they saw all of the crabs and other wildlife on the way down. I did not. On the way back I did not make the same mistake. These guys were everywhere once you started looking! They were a little shy, but this ones was either vain enough or dumb enough to let me get pretty close to him for a picture.


Feelin’ Beachy

This restaurant that extended out onto the beach was a common sight in Playa del Carmen. To get this shot the way I wanted it I had to do a little bit of shooting from the hip, and I think I got lucky with the timing of the clouds and some of the patrons! I miss this place, with a cool and rainy week in progress here I’m ready to go back!


Cenote Exit

This was the very first cenote a saw on my trip to Mexico. It just so happened to be on the property of some friends who live down there! I might have seen a few later on that were more photogenic, but this one left an impression on me and it is very unique. The bright light shining in from the entrance really contrasts with the dark deeper reaches of the cenote.


Fatima I & Fatima IV

Two boats and a few groups of crazy kids on the beach.

What more needs to be said?


Going Home is Hard to Do

This was a familiar scene for me last week, and it was a hard one to leave. I love winters in California, they are mild in Sacramento with fantastic mountains and skiing nearby, but after a week on the beach in Mexico I’m having a hard time adjusting to my regularly scheduled life.


Magnolia

I don’t often do HDR, but this view of one of my favorite places in the haight just asked for it, so I decided to take some artistic liberty.  I like the way the colors came together and the result gives the image an older feel.
