Puerta Maya
Cozumel, Mexico
My favorite picture...ever. It's sweet, in a morbid black comedy way.
We were waiting for the tour buses by massive orange doors, when a kid noticed the pressed gecko between the door frames. We were told there was lizards, but I never thought I see a mummified one. Looking closer I noticed a spider was immortalized too...holding hands with it's natural enemy. An macabre if unlikely friendship.
Legion of Honor
San Fran, Cali
I wandered through the museum looking at the different period pieces and this was the last exhibit. Adornments from the Palace of Versailles.
I almost started hyperventilating in effort to contain my excitement. The spotlights illuminated each piece in warm clarity, and the mirrors which lined the walls provided further intricacy. I was looking from shadows to the mahogany to the glittering gold...every detail was so perfect (want to draw it). I had a hell of a time trying to keep my hands steady, but the focus turned out well.
