The Exconvent at Valladolid, Yucatan, Mexico

The Convent of San Bernandino of Siena

The Convent of San Bernandino of Siena in Valladolid was a treasure of light and color. I was totally captivated, losing all track of time as I wandered the arcades swimming in the soft colored light of early evening. Occasionally, melodic voices echoed from the choir practice above the sanctuary adding to the serenity of the humid evening.

I started photographing when I was 14, taking slides with an early Pentax 35mm. I took a photography class at 16 and began using a 4×5 view camera with my own darkroom. In 2002 digital emerged which envigorated my passion in the visual arts. In the last 5-6 years I’ve started documenting and developing a visual framework to cultivate “seeing” that can be shared with others on their path of becoming visual artists.

    Perfect. . my mind took a series of rights and lefts in a split second. finding the escape perfectly positioned in the center. I am so glad you can communicate so well with your lense. I look forward to learning from you.
