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!

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.

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!

Driving through Isla Mujeres I noticed a number of houses with laundry blowing in the wind. This house had pink flamingos, laundry drying and Christmas lights. Coming from Pittsburgh I found this combination fascinating.

This piece of driftwood on a deserted beach seems to be pointing to the rising sun. This was shot on the beach at Lagunamar in Cancun Mexico.

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.

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.

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.

As we sat sipping margaritas and watching the setting sun in Cancun eventually the waiters had to lower the awnings to protect our eyes. I became fascinated with the shadows of sombreros on the awnings and took this picture.

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.
