corona land

my friends and i took a trip to mexico for our spring break. we didn't want to do the stereotypical cancun trip, we wanted to explore the culture over there and with our friend from the heart of mexico, we thought it was a great opportunity for us to get a legit tour.

one of my favorite shots taken in the city of queretaro:

one thing i noticed most about mexico was the amount of cathedrals around the area. i'm not a big fan of cathedrals, maybe because i'm not religious, but i have always loved their details in their glass mosaics. i started to get addicted with photographing them...

these were shot in the bathroom while we were on tour in guanajuato:

the rest of these were shot in a cathedral at guadalupe in mexico city:

and last but not least, my self portrait:

you don't always need a fancy, expensive camera to get good shots...

(shot with the Canon Rebel XT and natural lighting. none of these images were edited. thanks to tiare for taking care of us and showing us a great time!)

Juanita - Your tight framing makes beautiful abstractions. Here's to seeing something everyday in a new way.
