Viewing the World Sideways…..

From our travels in Mexico

As we walked the small corridors between the vendors in this outdoor market I got a glimpse of this beautiful set of eyes staring at me. Quicker than you can say “howdy” the shutter button was pressed. I love this type of image where only fast instinctive reflexes will get you the photograph. Only after I really contemplated the image on my laptop did I truly appreciated what I captured. It is one of my favorites from the many trips to Mexico that we made.

This is the typical way they carry babies in Chiapas, Mexico. You will only  find a hand full of baby strollers, it’s all constant contact with the mother or other female family member. It is the indigenous way of childcare.

The Beauty Again…

Here is one of my favorites from the series “When I Was Two….”

Image of Little girl next toa fountain taken by a photographer

Photographing her was great even though she never stopped for a single pose it was constant movement I felt more like a paparazzi photographer than a portrait photographer. Unbelievable the energy these kids have you have to be fast if you want to capture an image from them.
