Right now I am supposed to be relaxing and not thinking about work. I am supposed to be spending time with the family, the whole family. The last vacation I took was the one prior to declaring my independence from the "man" and beginning a brand new career as a full-time professional photographer. What is funny is that we traveled to the same location that I am in right now--Playa Del Carmen, Mexico. It's been five years. It doesn't seem like a long time, and in the space, time continuum it's absolutely nothing. Now however, so much has changed in my life; I have a daughter, a son, and a career that I am continuously building upon from pretty much meager beginnings. The concept of a vacation has all but disappeared, but I am really trying. The last time I was here, I created an award winning image that is still really popular today and after being here for about a week, I can really understand why.
The light here is amazing. The colors exceed the boldest of anyone's imagination. Every sunset is a photographer's greatest dream. So without taking too much time away from "relaxing" I wanted to share a brand new image taken last night as the sun set yet again. Oh, and a photographer's vacation is never really a vacation because that creative bug kicks in every time you see something new, but loving what you do really makes a job seem a lot like a vacation--every day of the year. It's now time for another Daiquiri with the whole family.
Great image…there is no light like beach light! Awesome..enjoy your holiday!
Thank you Karen. We are finally back in the U.S. after a long flight delay to get out of Cancun. What an amazing light show we had for a week.
Another killer shot. Great combination of light, color and super foreground.
Thanks Younes. It’s good to have you making comments here now too!
