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.

Sunblock

Posted by Imagery Photography on

There is a short period of time after the sun rises when the sky still has brilliant color but the sun is already to bright to photograph. The challenge is to find an object to partially block the rising sun to allow you to continue shooting.

This thatched beach hut in Cancun Mexico provided a perfect sunblock and a beautiful sky.

At Peace by the Sea

Posted by Imagery Photography on

While we drove our little golf cart around Isla Mujeres we were never far from the Carribean Sea. We eventually left the town area and went down a little hill headed towards South Point and stumbled on this small cemetery right by the sea.

It was beautiful and quiet and the most colorful cemetery we have ever seen. I have never seen a burial ground quite like this and it had made me want to research other modern Mexican cemeteries.

Sunset in Cancun

Posted by Imagery Photography on

It takes a dedicated photographer to capture a sunrise. You have to get up in the dark, get yourself awake and to the location and be alert enough to remember how the camera works. Sunsets are much easier. You may not be awake each day at sunrise unless you are Ben Franklin but we are all awake for sunset every day. This sunset was taken at Las Islas Shopping Center in Cancun Mexico.

In Flight

Posted by Imagery Photography on

If you have followed this blog at all you probably know that I love pelicans. For every pelican picture I publish there are fifty I don’t. Their method of fishing makes them balletic when hitting the water. It is different each time. They are also large birds and beautiful in flight. This is a Mexican brown pelican in flight over the beach in Cancun.

Skippy the Pelican

Posted by Imagery Photography on

I photographed this pelican on Isla Mujeres on the dock near the turtle farm. All he wanted to do was sit on the post at the end of the pier. However, the kids would run out to the edge of the pier which made him nervous and he would jump into the little harbor and wait until they left. He would then skip along the water and fly back up to his post. I saw him do this a few times before I finally got a picture of him skipping on the water.

Self Kiss

Posted by Imagery Photography on

I have been working on a concept book for a while, “Just a Kiss” and collecting candid images of people kissing in public from around the world. I still need many more before it will ever become a book. This is the newest one taken two weeks ago in Cancun Mexico. I think it is a good comment on today’s narcissistic society where some people need to photograph every thing they do.
