Guanajuato, Mexico is as visually interesting as any city I have photographed. What many visitors might not realize, however, is that to find some of the most surreal parts of town you have to go underground.
One of my favorite photography projects in Guanajuato is exploring the callejons (narrow alleys) in search of interesting doors and windows.
The images in this post are of city vistas and of some of the notable landmarks around Gunajuato. I took them either in twilight or night time lighting conditions, or during a few breaks in the cloudy weather.
The mix of colorfully painted buildings and well lit callejones (alleys) in Guanajuato make night photography here particularly beautiful
For the entire month of January I’m taking my photography in a slightly different direction and exploring the colonial mining towns of central Mexico. My blog will act as my travel journal. I’ll be posting images and stories about the project here every couple of days.
In 2008 I was very humbled to be chosen as a category winner for my image Lunar Eclipse Over Mt. Shasta. This year I was surprised again to have two of my images receive Highly Honored awards in the competition.

David Cobb and I came across this cracked, peeling mud layer in a wash while hiking in the desert along Hole in the Wall Rd in Utah. We were drawn, not only to the curled and cracked patterns, but the pock marks that must have been left by a rain shower.
