Tag Archives: Adventure Just another ho-hum evening in Southern California. I have mentioned it before, but if you have never visited LA, forget about visiting Hollywood or the expensive amusement parks. The Griffith Observatory should be the first destination on your list. From here, you can enjoy sweeping views of LA that extend from the downtown skyline all […] 
 Centuries before the Aztecs ruled Mexico at Tenochtitlan, there was another ancient city that rose up with temples and pyramids that extended to the stars. The grand city of Teotihuacán emerged on the outskirts of what is now Mexico City beginning in the 1st Century AD and reaching its peak in the 7th Century AD. […]
 I was in San Diego to take a post-processing class with a photographer whose work I have long admired, Elia Locardi. I learned some great Photoshopping techniques which I plan to implement from now on in my workflow. Check out his awesome work over at his web site: Blame The Monkey. After class, I headed over to nearby […]
 When you visit Oaxaca, you will find a city brimming with activity. On a typical Sunday evening, the locals are out with their families, street vendors are out selling their wares, and tourists walk around dazed from all the sights, sounds and aromas. Most of the activity is centered around this old section of the city. […]
 I was hanging out in the spectacular beaches of Akumal in the Mayan Riviera recently when these two lovely Argentinian girls passed by. I was busy taking photos of the clear blue Carribean waters and they were trying to take photos of themselves with their phone. Normally, people see me with all the camera gear […]
 I recently posted a recap of my adventure exploring the Mayan ruins of Coba. You can read all about it here. I had posted all the photos in black & white but here is one in full color. Whenever I process a photo, sometimes I’ll consider converting to black & white or sepia. Depends on […]
 I was visiting Mexico City over the New Year’s holiday and made a side trip to the bohemian suburb of Coyoacan. Many people make the trek here so they can visit the famous Frida Kahlo museum (also known as La Casa Azul). My sister mentioned that they had just unveiled a new Frida Kahlo exhibit. Not […]
 On the road between Tulum and Merida in the Yucatan peninsula, you will find the old Mayan city of Coba. This ancient Mayan city is home to one of the grand Mayan pyramids and is one of the few remaining archeological sites in Mexico where climbing the main pyramid is still allowed. You are no […]
 I was out shooting photographs with a group of local LA photographers recently and had a great time. You can check out their talents here and here. We descended upon Chinatown in LA since it affords some nice views of the downtown skyline. The fog started to roll in but it was still a lovely […]
 No, that’s not a scene from Lord of the Rings. It’s the Valley of Viñales in Pinar del Rio, Cuba. This is one of those small little towns that not many people have heard of but it’s just popular enough to warrant a nice hotel up on a hill overlooking the valley. This is the […]
