Surfer Portraits

I'm working on a storyboard about a little surf town in Mexico and got distracted in making these images of local surfers for the blog to share. These guys have seen their little fishing village transform over the past 10 yrs to a tourist destination. And now, themselves have gained a little from the tourism, such as providing a business teaching surfing, or taking surfers out on charter boats, and family business of restaurants and bars.

Jaripeo -- cattle style

I think typically at these rodeos cowboys ride bulls, but in this case, the ranchers of Las Canas used their own cattle grazers. The event was just outside of San Miguel de Allende, at a ranch/pueblo.
