Pick Up Game

Posted by Imagery Photography on

Each night before sunset there was a pick up volleyball game on the beach at Lagunamar in Cancún Mexico. The players varied in skill but all seemed to be having fun and nobody took it too seriously. Last year I photographed the Regional Finals in Clearwater Beach Florida which was very intense by comparison.

The Mask Guy

Posted by Imagery Photography on

We saw this guy in Canún Mexico. Young children seemed to be scared of him yet completely unafraid of the smelly old pirate just a block away. Then it occurred to me that kids see Pirates all the the time but the Jim Carey movie The Mask was thirty years old!

Zombie Nights in Production

Posted by Imagery Photography on

I have been asked by a number of people to write a book about my experiences on the set of Dawn of The Dead in 1978. I was a photojournalist in Pittsburgh in 1978 and did some work for Pittsburgh Magazine. One assignment was to cover the new movie that George Romero was making at Monroeville Mall.

The book is now in the first stages of editing and I hope to publish it by April. I am also working with a professional illustrator in the United Kingdom on the cover design. I am considering making a Zombie Nights T-Shirt so stay tuned in for updates on the project.

Sunset Silhouettes

Posted by Imagery Photography on

I love taking pictures at sunset. It used to be that I was happy with just the beustiful color of the sky. As I matured as a photographer I began to feel the boredom of the empty sky.

Recently I have become fascinated with silhouettes against the setting sun. The forms add texture and movement to a static skyscape. This image was captured on the docks at Las Islas in Cancun Mexico.

The Hat Guy

Posted by Imagery Photography on

It’s fun to watch the street peddlers and hucksters in Mexico. Each one has their own unique shtick. They are all pretty harmless and not agressive like they are in Waikiki. They won’t chase you down the street.

There are the pretty girls in tight dresses that flirt with you. The young men that act like you know them and that you are their best friends. People who are giving stuff away for free or so they say. Then there is this guy, the hat guy who is so happy he just can’t stand it!

Huckster

Posted by Imagery Photography on

Hucksters come in all different shapes and sizes on the Mayan Riviera. Most are men calling out ” Hey take a look?” “Almost Free”. Resturants take a lower key approach and with menus in hand attempt to lead you in to their establishment. This young lady was not at all abrasive and the food was pretty good with a nice sunset view.
