Listening to the Ocean

Listening to the Ocean

Last night I took a few shots while some folks were over at the house. Here’s a photo of my friend Marycruz. Thanks for visiting and have a great weekend!

A shot of Abraham (member of the previously mentioned fish escape prevention team) on the playground observing skateboarders in the distance.

Los Angeles de La Purisima

Los Angeles de La Purisima

Three angels mounted on the side of La Purisima in downtown Monterrey. As I mentioned in a previous post, additional info on La Purisima can found in Wikepedia.

Cristo en La Purisima

Cristo en La Purisima

This image is from outside of La Purisima, a church in Monterrey. The church was built in the 40s and with a good deal of controversy for the modern design of the art that adorns it (article in Spanish). I may add a few more pictures of it this week. The outside of the church, [...]

The mourner

This is the second shot of a friend’s grandmother. You couldn’t ask for a better model. About 50 years ago she once owned one of the first movie theaters in Zacatecas, Mexico

Afternoon on the playground

Afternoon on the playground

This is another shot from last weekend at a neighborhood park in San Nicolas. It’s one of the few candid pics because the kids spent most of the time posing and shouting “Kevin take another, Kevin take another”. It got me to thinking back to when I was a kid and had to think exactly [...]

The Little Mermaid 19 years later

The Little Mermaid 19 years later

With pirated DVDs cutting into her royalty checks, the years have not been kind to Ariel. It looks like she is working as a showgirl to supplement her income. Seriously, this is just another shot of what I found on the street one Sunday morning while walking through downtown Monterrey.
