the "little big man" picture. gem took this picture of me, messed it up, said i was just a big kid. we found a caterpillar on a tree stump that day, brought it home to a terrarium. Caterpillar to cocoon to moth in about a month. the kids thought it was fantastic.
one of the first pictures i took that i really liked. 3.1mp Kodak DC4800, circa 2001.
stargazer lily backlit with a "natural" fluorescent light. a beautiful, long lasting flower that fills a room with scent. canon rebel, tamron 18-250DiII. photoshop elements 2

these are some of the children of oaxaca, mexico. smiles are the order of the day. it's a place where people still stop and talk on their way down the street. the crowd in the back is looking at copies of photos we took last january when we where here.
in a land filled with sandals, the shoe shine guy appears to make a hefty income. any jokes are yours for the making (plumbers union poster boy?).
one of mexicos marvels, modern wiring! but if you look around, cell phones are more popular then land lines, wifi more then dial up. in one way they're lucky, they've skipped a lot of the wired tech we've come from. and all the costs that went with it.
saturday morning in le crucecita mexico. lots of sun, friendly people, laid back lifestyle, and the bonus of 300 days of sun a year! something a "northerner" like myself can really appriciate. over the next while i will try to post pictures of this magical place, with its people, culture and colour. i hope you enjoy them!
