I can’t believe that it has been six months since our trip to Spain! My poor art blog is so neglected! I hope it doesn’t know about the other blog and how much attention I have given it!

Even though photography was really my lowest priority on this trip (I needed time to just LOOK and experience)  I did take a few photographs now and then. Here are just a few that I took our last morning in Barcelona, I think they would b nice printed on fine art watercolor paper.

Although the city of Campeche is only a couple of hours from Mérida, it is very rare that people who live in Mérida we take the time to visit. We decided to take a little trip on New Year’s day and were glad we did. It was fun to just walk around the city, which is very well preserved and on the Unesco list of World Heritage cities and being right of the Gulf of Mexico Campeche offers the very best ceviche. I was lazy and didn’t take many pictures that day, but here are a few that I did take.

An architectural detail from one of the many forts originally built to defend the city from pirates, even though it is hundreds of years old I think it looks like a lot of the most modern Mexican architecture.

I’m sure that most anyone who visits the fort takes this picture, but just in case anyone would like to see the view from the top fo the fort…

The main square of the city of Campeche.

Sometimes I forget to take time out of the daily routine to do photography just for fun…this trip to Antigua, Guatemala was one of my favorites because there was no hurry and plenty of interesting things to look at and photograph…just for fun.

I love these photographs so much they are framed and hanging on my wall. They are special to me because they depict kids happily being kids, I love that! They also represent to me some of my first baby steps in seeing the world through a more photojournalistic perspective. I printed them full frame in the darkroom with no cropping of the negative, and was very pleased with the happy images that had been captured so quickly in the viewfinder.
