i then had to go to mexico for work on june 10th and returned june 21st.  what an amazing time.  this trip was like no other.  i mean each trip i take for work is so different from the others.  sydney, for example, was just what i needed at that time.  i needed to get away from my life.  i needed to see something new, do something totally unlike me.  this trip, mexico, it was to reassure me that this is what i am suppose to be doing right now.  seeing the world.  experiencing life.  i saw some of the most beautiful places this trip.  we went to taxco (tas-sko) mexico.  a town built into a side of a mountain, a big mountain, where the main industry is silver.  i bought SO much there.  all unique pieces, stuff that if imported into the US, would cost a fortune.  i was also able to see a couple of pyramids, and the cities built with them.  unbelievable.  as i stood atop the sun pyramid, climbed all 200+ steps to get to the top, i wanted to time travel, to witness how it was.  these were simply amazing!

we cannot forget the team building that was done on a wednesday night!

in photoshop again.  this time though i took my inspiration from a family photographer in california.  she used a ‘view finder’ framing on her pictures that i just fell in love with.  gives them the ‘old’ or i should say ‘vintage’ look.  here’s my attempt at it. …buckingham fountain, chicago.

edit – if i didnt get the modern building in the background, on the right side, this would have looked like a true old picture.  with the older building on the left.  damn.
