Good Times On The Job

I don’t know if these guys were coming from a job or going to one. Either way, they looked happy about it. When I shot this photo I had just sat down on a bench and I saw these two guys walking up the street. I knew right away I wanted a picture of these …

The Good Bench

I walked by this bench so many times. And for whatever reason I found myself in this general vicinity often. There is a 7 Eleven right behind this bench, so I stopped in here a few times. There is also a money exchange place across from the 7 Eleven, so just those 2 reasons alone …

Details in the Park

As I was sitting in the park one day, I couldn’t help but notice this little detail in the stone work. I love stuff like this. It would have been so straight forward to just leave the end of this block blank. But adding this little detail is so great and I think it really …

Hang out

I was just wondering around a neighbourhood in Playa Del Carmen as one with a curious mind does. The main streets are good, but I also find regular streets to be just as interesting. I also find it really interesting to see how locals are living and going about their lives. This picture shows that …

Old Hotel?

I am not really sure what is going on with this place. It looks like an old hotel that is some what abandoned. I honestly thought it was just abandoned but then as I walked up to the place, dogs started barking at me. So I’m pretty sure people live there, but maybe only in …

OLD 149 House

This old house caught my eye when I was walking by. The house is on a relatively busy street downtown in Playa Del Carmen so it looked a little out of place. I am assuming it’s quite an old house. The roof is so strange, but it works. I really love all the vines on …

Motorcycle Dog

I just barely got this picture. These two were burning by and as soon as I noticed the dog my camera went flying up to my face! The funny thing is the dog was looking right at me when I shot the photo. I’m so happy the photo worked out how it did. It seems …

Colourful Buildings

I love when people paint buildings such fun and bright colours. As you walk down this street it’s not like every building is bright and colourful like this. So when you come across these buildings it’s a refreshing blasts of colour. I also really like how you can see the plants growing out of the …

This Street at Night

This street is a pedestrian only street and day or night it is just packed with people. This one moment is one of the quieter moments I was able to get a picture. In fact I think this is about as quiet as I ever saw it. But trust me, this moment was just a …

The Tourists

You see a lot of tourist grouped together like this in Mexico. Whenever I see them I always wonder what the occasion for the trip is, what they are doing and who they are to each other and where are they from? It’s none of my business but these are questions that just pop into …

Tiger Painting

I was just walking home (my home for the week that is) one day when I spotted this amazing Tiger painting across the street. I went over and shot a quick few photos. I didn’t want to take much time with this photo because this is actually the entrance to someone’s house and I thought …

Hoopin in Mexico

My son Cameron and I wanted to get some shots up while we were in Mexico. I found this court online and one day we decided to go check it out. It was incredibly hot in Playa Del Carmen while we were there so we tried to get there in morning before it got too …

Suitcase Street

Playa del Carmen is the only place I have experienced that you often see people walking around the busiest streets with suitcases. Every time I’ve been to Playa del Carmen it has always stood out to me that people would be walking around with suitcases in the busiest tourists areas. I guess it makes sense …
