When I returned to the States from the Caribbean this past summer I finally pulled the trigger and bought myself a nice fancy camera. I don't really know how to use it all that well just yet, but I've been practicing and starting to take some good shots. But really, more than anything, I think photography is about capturing a moment in time. These moments I'd like to share with you. So, here it is, the start of a series where I'll show you a photo I've taken on my travels and tell you all about it. Still looking for a title to this series, so we'll go with a working one for now, Through the Lens.
We start with a photo above, taken from a beach on Isla Mujeres looking back to Cancun. On this day, I woke up early and made like a baby to head out and do my usual travel thing-meander. And so meander I did and came across this father and daughter fishing from their boat. Along the beach other fishing boats sat idle while their fishermen drank beers nearby. Today was a Sunday during Carnaval and thus a day where fishing is better left to family pursuits or drinking and swapping fish tales. Here we see the former. In the father's hands is a Palometa, and I don't recall whether he kept it or threw it back. The daughter holds out a baited line in anticipation as the father looks on after it. Below is another photo from a few minutes before.
