Jazz With Jesús (San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, 2019)

As a photographer, nothing inspires me more than traveling. Seeing new sights, meeting new people, and experiencing different cultures are just what I need to get the creative juices flowing.

In October 2019 I spent 2-weeks in "Colonial Mexico". I visited three cities; Guadalajara, San Miguel de Allende, and Guanajuato. Beginning in the early-1500's, thru the Mexican war of Independence in the 1820's, this area of Mexico was referred to as New Spain. Due to the Spanish influence, this part of Mexico looks a lot like Europe with narrow-stone-paved streets and buildings dating back to the mid 1500's. It is widely regarded as one of the most beautiful parts of Mexico. In fact, both Guanajuato and San Miguel de Allende are UNSECO world heritage sites.

I took this photograph in San Miguel de Allende. This clarinet player was located on a side-street one block from the city's main square. Musicians have long been a common theme in my photography. Especially those with a real-cool-vibe. As you can see from this photo, this guy surely fits the bill.
