About the "Mexican Portfolio"
My first trip to Mexico was a one week vacation in Puerto Vallarta in 2000.
I was fascinated and intrigued by the country. I have always enjoyed traveling and
have not been so excited since I traveled to Europe in the 70's. The one week in Puerto
Vallarta was a great experience for me and I photographed all I could. Upon returning home, I
reviewed my slides and decided that I must return to photograph in more detail.
I returned to Mexico in 2001 and stayed for 3 months. During my stay I made
many friends and met several people, some of whom I still stay in contact with.
I traveled to Guadalajara, Leon, Puerto Vallarta, San Miguel De Allende and Guanajuato.
I loved the people and country and had a wonderful experience living and photographing
there. I plan to return in the near future.
“La Paloma” is the name of the Bull Ring (Plaza De Toros) in Puerto Vallarta (Jalisco) Mexico.
I always wanted to see a genuine bull fight. For me, there was always a certain mystique and
glamour associated with it. I didn't know what to expect but, I was ready with my Nikons to
shoot whatever took place. On this day there were four individual fights, each one scheduled
for roughly thirty minutes. It was a hot spring day,with plenty of sun. The place was full,
mostly consisting of tourist, with beer and food being served during the event. Photographing
the Bull Fights was a challenge but, what I saw and experienced I will never forget.
