I'm glad I did. I found endless inspiration for a trip I am about to go on next week to Mexico. I'm a working graphic designer and amateur photographer... I looked through a hand full of the galleries and found one picture in particular that just made me stop and stare. I really felt as if I were there. It's like this "calmness" came over me. The composition was amazing, the colors, the clouds, reflections... I believe it was #20 in your travel gallery. Where is that?!?!I've been to Mexico a few times and will probably go many more (my wife has a thing for sun, sand and turquoise waters).One thing I've been trying to understand better is the effect a telephoto lens has on a scene, compared to a wide angel. The compression factor that you get when shooting a tele lens. I just upgraded from a Canon Digital Rebel (300D) to a Canon 40D w/ the 28-135mm IS USM Lens. So I can't wait to get to Mexico and capture some great shots. Thanks for the inspiration, and hopefully you can do a post on that compression factor. It really helps to hear it more than one way from different photographers. So, I’ve been reading your blog for a few months now and finally got around to looking through your portfolio.
