Sonoran Mx

While in Guaymas Mx. the cross walks struck me as chaotic at first. But the people seem most comfortable with their efficiency in navigating the traffic.  So I learned a new way of entering an intersection and realized I could actually get to the other side quicker.

I was also attracted to the lighting at dusk and the car/bus lights on the pedestrians.  Always hard to shoot action hand held with failing light.  I quickly got up to iso 6400 on this scene.

While on a photo trip over the border in Sonora Mx, I was introduced to a small town of Seri indians.  When not being photographed this little girl was laughing with her family and friends but when I brought my camera up she dropped her child like ways.  I really don’t like to direct & pose people, and didn’t here.  Cant help but wonder if other photographers asked her to to look strong and tough for the camera or if she just didn’t like being photographed. Photo excursion shoots rarely feel or look real but this image haunts me with her real feelings projected. We bought some jewelry from the moms and left bags of clothing, food, & fuel.  Would of preferred to stay the week camped with them and earn their confidence to photograph them properly
