My internet connection is sporadic and slow – so I’ll wait for a better time to write more, but here are a few pictures of where I’ve been for the past couple of days … I’m in Barcelona until Sunday morning, and I still haven’t quite decided where I’ll go next. Most likely somewhere in [...]
Meandering
I use maps like I use cookbooks. Some inspiration and good intentions, then I lose patience trying to follow directions and just decide to let the force guide me. So … yesterday, I walked … walked … and walked. I don’t really have much to say. It’s a beautiful city and I’m really enjoying the [...]

Dia de los Muertes
Yesterday we shot in the center of San Miguel for a Halloween celebration. Halloween isn’t generally celebrated in Mexico, but once kids find out they can dress up in a costume and get candy & money from strangers — how can they resist!?! Today we’re making a pilgrimage to the town of Tzintzuntzan in the [...]
It’s a small world after all …
As I was waiting for my shuttle from Leon to San Miguel, I noticed a woman who looked a little familiar. We ended up on the same shuttle – so to break the ice, I decided to start a conversation — here’s how it went: Amy: “You look so familiar to me … where do [...]
