Villa de Santiago, Take 2

Villa de Santiago, Take 2

Second shot of the church in Villa de Santiago. Different angle, different moment.

Chaos

It’s like a “where’s Wally/Waldo/Walter” for Eden. Can you find each character? Good job! (close up of a sculpture in the Museo del Ojo in Garcia, Nuevo, Leon – about 30 minutes from Monterrey)

Last weekend I took this photo of the church in Villa de Santiago, a little community about 30 minutes from where I live. In 2006 it was named a “pueblo mágico” (magic town) in recognition of its historic preservation.

The Museo Metropolitano de Monterrey is one of the few museums here that let you take photos of the exhibitions. This is an image I shot on Saturday of an adding machine that is displayed with other office equipment from the turn of the century (and I am not referring to Y2K).

This shot is from a cemetery (Panteón Dolores – which is literally translated as the pain cemetery) in Monterrey. Many of the statues, mausoleums, and tributes to the deceased are breathtaking.

Portrait of a grandmother

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
