Updated Website, Portfolio and More

If you have the time or inclination, please check out my updated website and photography portfolio. You will see plenty of photographs and articles on my photography and the Chicano experience.

While you are at it, this year I started a new YouTube Channel ... Texas Moto Foto. There, I have coalesced a melange of mainstream to esoteric videos. It's all fun! Subjects explored range from photography to technology to recreational vehicles. An unusual mix indeed.

Oh, I almost forgot! I have a Patreon Page. If you are able and willing, support my photography by donating on my page. You can be the first!

Photos of Oaxaca, Alebrijes and More

If you have the time or the inclination please check out my photographs of Oaxaca Mexico in a UHD … 4k YouTube video. In 2005, I captured the original pix using a Nikon D70s … a 6-megapixel camera. Today, I use a 36-megapixel camera. Yes, in photography bigger sensors are typically better.

I haven't gone to Europe, Africa, Asia or even Hawaii, but I have traveled a bit. Primarily throughout the American Southwest and Mexico. I have enjoyed the amazing diversity and photography opportunities this region has to offer. 

In Oaxaca, I photographed the communities, artists and workshops. Along with photographs of Oaxaca, I have several images of Mexican artists creating wood sculptures called Alebrijes. These fantastical and colorful creatures are popular in Mexico City and Oaxaca. My photographs explore the artistic transformation from roughly hewn pieces of wood, to sculpting fine details to painstakingly adding colorful lines, dots and textures.
