Magic Of San Miguel

I am in beautiful San Miguel doing some Luminous-landscape business and shooting whenever possible this beautiful city and region.  I’ll be out with my business partner Michael Reichmann for the next few days exploring some great Mexican Landscapes.  Look for upcoming images.  Todays image was made in San Miguel yesterday while walking to lunch.  I just loves the light, the subject and what they were doing.  No matter who you meet here they all seem happy.  Very festive place.  More images will be coming.

As I have mentioned in my previous posts there are a lot of ruins in the San Miguel area.  Not to far out of town are the ruins of an old silver mine.  The building are amazing and I have made a series of great looking images there.  This one is titled Door, Door Wall as that is what you see.  Enjoy!

San Miguel Square, Show Shine

I love the town square in San Miguel.  It’s beautifully landscaped and there is always some kind of activity going on there.  Vendors, locals, tourists and more all make this little spot a photographers paradise.  I enjoy shooting the locals.  This image was kind of cool as it a show shine guy.  I loved the way the guy has a hand on his customers boot like he is making a point about something. (Most likely the gringo taking his picture). And the guy on the bench is cool too.  Wonder what they were discussing.

Ruins, Atotonilco, Mexico

A short drive outside of San Miguel, Mexico is a small town with a big church, Atotonilco, Mexico.  There is like in all parts of the area a lot to shoot.  The church  interior itself is a site to behold.  I’ll most likely post an image of the church in the not so distant future.  This image was made a block away from the church looking towards  the church over some ruins.  There seems to be a lot of ruins around Mexico and they always make for some great images.  This one I thought looked kind of apocalyptic.

Bull Ring Water Cart

I was visiting my good friend Micahel Reichmann in San Miguel Mexico and across the street from him is a bull fighting ring.  It’s kind of funny as it sits in the middle of a neighborhood.  This is a shot of a cool looking water cart they drag around the bull ring to keep the dust down.

Lady In Doorway

There is an oasis in the middle of Mexico known as San Miguel Allende.  This a town that is hard to describe except that it has a charm that you don’t expect. It’s a great place for street photography as well as landscape photography.  This is a shot made on the street of a doorway and a woman sitting in it.

Wall In Mexico

Wall – San Miguel, Mexico

This image was shot earlier this this year near San Miguel, Mexico.  It’s part of an old silver mine that we spent time in shooting. It struck me because of the colors and cactus as well as the window in the wall.  Shot with a Phase One IQ180 camera and processed in Capture One.
