Morning at Patapsco
So this morning I decided to take a hike, as opposed to my usual grueling ride, to some dilapidated houses along one of the trails at Patapsco. Weather was cool and crisp and the clouds were overcast providing a nice consistent light for pictures. My goal was basically to scout that particular area for possibly a future photoshoot with model. I ended turning a 1 hour hike into a 4 hour one but it was well worth the pictures and the serenity!

Todays word of the day is Zamas!
The food... simply the highlight of the day and even getting scammed out of twice the price of gas we should have paid for.
So today consisted of renting a Chevy "teeny tiny"(according to Kristiaan) and driving South on the 307 towards Tulum whilst making stops along the way. We had a map hand drawn by the owner of our hotel, The Luna Blue which is a great place to stay, especially for those of us on a budget.
We first stopped at Akumal for some snorkeling at Yal-Ku where you just pay $7 for entry and you're on your own for the fun. There were two other small stops on the way we chose to bypass, they were Akumal Bay and Half Moon bay.
Next we stopped for gas at Pemex where we were had! Word to the wise - if you can pump your own gas DO IT or at least watch the meter! One of the gas attendants came over totalk distract us while the other one pumped our gas and when he was done quickly erased the total (Liters and price) and gave us a ridiculous verbal receipt. I should have known better and a few minutes after leaving we were both cursing a storm down the highway. But we didn't let that get us down and continued on to Tulum.
Our next stop was to go to a little beach restaurant at a hotel called Zamas. WOW and more WOW. Todays pictures are based solely on our eating experience regardless of the other amazing things we did.
After that we went to the Ruins of Tulum which was in the process of closing so we were rushed and only had 30 minutes to run through the park. On our way out we spontaneously pulled the car over and ran out to a beach in hopes for some long awaited sunset pictures but we thwarted by south facing beach. Still I promise you all some great pictures from it.
Enjoy todays Zamas theme:
p.s. I am currently sitting at a bar on swinging seats (hung from the ceiling) :)
1. The menu
2. Drinking a Chayan Water (ancient Mayan drink good for the kidney)
3. My cutie!
4. Appetizers
5. Main course, Grilled fillet of grouper (his) and Ceviche & Shrimp tacos (hers)
6. El gato
7. The other side of Kristiaan
8. OMG!! Crepe with Nutella and Honey............................................
9. See # 8
10. Another couple enjoying the view.
11. Our wonderful waiter... and I should shoot myself for forgetting his name :(
12. Look how happy the food made her!
13. Eyes closed but who cares, she took a great picture.
14. Sitting on some very sharp and hard rocks.
15. K and her new found house decoration... if we can get it back into the states in one piece.

Mexico - Day 1.5
So obviously if I'm posting this things are fine, no abductions or viral stomach maladies. Our flight in consisted of a 3 hr layover in Miami where K and I had a 10 minute photo contest against each other (?) yes I'll explain later...
Thursday consisted of a visit to the eco water park called Xcaret (pronounced Esh-kar-et). I have a surprise about this visit for you all but you will not get to see it until we get back. Well I decided I would make an effort to blog our daily activities so enjoy our little teaser pics:
1.Kristiaan checking out a menu at MadreTierra (Mother Earth) Seafood and Steak Grill.
2. Some inside decor of MadreTierra:
3. Xcaret - walking towards one of our destinations.
4. Xcaret - Highly ancient and sophisticated weather stone (more accurate than what our current weatherfolk use these days)
5. Xcaret - Believe it or not, this is just a check-in/get-your-equipment building:
6. Xcaret - Dolphin area
5. Xcaret - My beautiful model doing some promotional work:
6. Xcaret - One of the many cenotes access points:
7. Xcaret - Beach view
8. Xcaret - me
9. Xcaret - some good ole abstract
10. Xcaret - Parrots totally ignoring us.
11. Xcaret @ sunset

Oni @ Brookside Gardens (Wheaton Park)
I recently, early October, had the pleasure of shooting Oni at the Brookside Gardens. Such a lovely location. I've been there numerous of times, including this particular shoot, where you catch a Bride& Groom having their wedding pictures taken there.
Here are a few of my favorites from the day:
