Yesterday I went on an offroad adventure with a friend I met at Christmas dinner. We took his Jeep up and over the hill to a remote little beach called Playa Manzanillo. We made a wrong turn and wound up on the roads of some new luxury real estate lots they are developing. Great views...

Gnarly Bug
Here is a big armored beetle that was found in the yard. He’s big and slow and not dangerous in any way.
But it seems that he is on his last legs, so to speak. He isn’t moving around very well.
Pure Randomness
I took a walk from Casa Heidi in Playa La Ropa downtown to La Concha this afternoon with the Nikon d500o & 45mm PC-E body-lens combo. Holiday travelers have descended upon the quiet beaches of two weeks ago.
There is not a shortage of vendors trying to sell you stuff. Fortunately no wedding services have yet...
Disco Palm Trees
All I’ve got is another tropical la-la-land photo for you today. So I tweaked it out in Lightroom for some variety.
Sea Kayaking in Zihuatanejo Bay
I was invited to play with a sea kayak yesterday, so I immediately jumped at the opportunity. Zihuatanejo Bay was pretty chopped up in the late afternoon, so I wasn’t about to attempt any photos while on the boat. But I did take a beach break and snapped a photo of the boat...
Sunrise Surfing
Well, I finally made it out surfing today. I knew it was going to be hard, but I didn’t know it was going to be so painful on the stomach. I’m a softie, need a rash guard. The sunrise was nice! Big holiday dinner party tonight. Merry Christmas!

A week has gone by and I’ve mostly been spending my days lounging around the beach. As a result, most of the photos so far have been mostly easy scenery shots. I’m starting to get a little bit bored with them. I need some more weirdness. I’ve also been lacking in willing subjects for portraits....
Crocodile De La Manglar
There is a place on Playa La Ropa where a natural river meets the sea. They have the area fenced off, so that the crocs have to stay in the river, and cannot exit to the ocean. There is a restaurant right along the river, where there is no fence. It’s a...
Street Performances
There have been many street performances in the downtown center. Meringue dancers and kids in costumes and clowns, oh my!
Zihuatanejo View
View of Zihuantanejo with a cruise ship in port.
This is Playa La Ropa. I’m staying a short walk away.
Feliz Cinco de Mayo! Mexican Fashion Photography in Boulder
Happy Cinco de Mayo! Welcome to Part 2 of the Crystal Fashion Shoot. Chronicalogically this was Part 1, but never mind that! Crystal needed a photo to run in her local La Junta newspaper in an ad for Cinco de Mayo festivities. I could have taken one good shoot and have...
