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 …

Coffee Mi Amor

Michelle and I were walking down a random street in Playa Del Carmen. It was hot and about coffee time. A guy we stopped on the street told us about this coffee shop. As soon as we walked in I saw this cool sign on the wall and knew I needed a picture. There were …

This Kind of Beauty

I love the look of this little part of the street. There is a grimy type of beauty here. The painting is so great with the basketball hoop there. And the door with the iron bars, I love that! The tattoo shop with the barber pole just kind of brings it all together. Not everyone …

Tiny Balcony

As I was walking down the street couldn’t help but notice this tiny balcony. The door looks really cool too. Very old and it has a kind of classic Mexico feel to me. I’d love to sit on that balcony and watch the people go by. The 2nd picture was taken just a short distance …

Beautiful Bug

I was just walking down this random street in Playa Del Carmen when I spotted this beautiful little car. It was parked in this strange little parking spot and I just looked perfect there. I think any car would have looked good there. The orange of this VW Bug just looked perfect here though. Thanks …

In Playa Del Carmen

I know I just kind of disappeared last week. It’s not because I have given up the blog. The reason I wasn’t posting is because I was down in Playa Del Carmen, Mexico for a week living it up! I’ve got lot of photos from streets and just around town. So you can expect a …

Trusty Ol 50mm 1.4

I have always loved 50mm. It’s just such a perfect lens for how I like to shoot. Over the years I have had so many different 50mm lenses. Even right now I couldn’t even tell you how many different 50mm lenses I have. If I had to guess I’d say between 10 and 20. With …

Old School

I love old schools like this! Actually I just like old school classic looking schools in general. The new ones are also nice, but to me the old building are just so much more beautiful. This is Whatcom Middle School in Bellingham WA. I was just driving by one day this past summer and the …

Cartoon Sign

I was just walking down the street when this cartoon sign caught my eye. It’s not everyday you see a cartoon sign, so it really stood out to me. The bright colours and old timey cartoon style are pretty unique for around here. I love the sign and the artist who made it is clearly …

Life Around The Mural

I was walking around downtown yesterday looking for a photo. I saw this Tiger and Dragon mural and thought it would look good in a street shot. I shot relatively low so I could get more of the buildings across the street into the shot. The buildings across the street are kind of dull in …

Watching the City

I have always loved living in apartments. Especially an apartment with any kind of a city view. I haven’t lived in an apartment for about 15 years, but I’m sure I’ll end up in one again one day. I just find it so enjoyable to be out on the balcony watching city life happen. I …
