Dia de la Revolucion
Back in November, I happened to be in San Miguel de Allende (Mexico) during the Dia de la Revolucion festivities. Here’s what I saw.
Fashion Shoot in San Miguel de Allende
San Miguel de Allende is a beautiful, tranquil little pueblo. My first day, I had the happy luck to find myself witness to both a wedding and this fashion shoot. The props and styling (with the church in the background) I’m sure made for some wonderful photos. It’s the first time I’ve seen a fashion shoot, and I found it fascinating. Here’s what I saw.

The filter on my lens shattered, and the zoom is stuck on 55mm. The camera itself seems ok, except for a crack in the preview screen. Fortunately, I’ve already taken a ton of photos.

Moments in Mexico City
Photography, like everything else, requires practice. Today, I remembered how rusty I am. And how my camera gear is RIDICULOUSLY heavy. I think I’m at almost 10% my body weight (pre-tacos, of course). Anyways, here are a few that turned out ok.
El Tiempo Afuera del Tiempo – Mexico
Life has been crazy the last few months, so I’m treating myself with some “time out of time” in Mexico. I’m spending tomorrow in Mexico City, and then several days in the colonial town of San Miguel de Allende. The plan is lots of photography, yoga, food and tequila – though not necessarily in that order. 🙂
