Sometimes getting out of bed in the morning can fill one with inspiration and verve. Then there's a day like today. Looking out the window brought a reminder that yes, Mexico City is one of the most pollution-wracked places on the planet. That the days when you can see the volcanos 80 miles south are likely outnumbered by the days you struggle to see the castle in the park less than 800 meters away. Call it "An Inconvenient View."
Still, reading through Ansel Adams' autobiography and reviewing some of his incredible work got me thinking about the zone system of tonal values and despite the health-threatening haze, I was inspired once again to pick up the camera and record what I was seeing. From the beauty of the Colima countryside, to the curse of urban life. In just two blog posts.
