Mexico City

13 September 2005 - 06:59 PM

Here are some select digital pics I took this summer during my Mexico trip. I didn't have enough time or luck to go up some skyscrapers for a cityscape, it was either cloudy or the observation decks were closed. Its such a large city to cover, and most of the time was spent getting from one place to another via subway or bus. Still I think many of the pics came out okay.

Mexico City (Ciudad de Mexico, D.F.), pop: 27 million (metro)

1. Loteria Nacional & El Caballito
2-5. Torre Mayor
6. Torre Latinoamericana
7. El Caballito sculpture

8. Looking west on Juarez Avenue towards the Monument to the Revolution
9-14. Palacio de Bellas Artes

15. UNAM Library
16. Tianguis (market) near Plaza Santo Domingo
17. Paseo de la Reforma
18. Popsicle vendor in Tlalnepantla
19. Looking north towards the Circuito Interior
20. Centro de Autobuses del Norte (one of 4 major stations)
21. Balloon ride at Mexico Magico in Chapultepec Park

22. Looking south from Atizapan
23-28. Los Dinamos, recreational forest just southwest of the city

Once again, comments and questions are always welcome. I'll be posting some pics of other Mexican cities soon. See ya!

Rundown sites in FW: a small portfolio

21 August 2005 - 12:35 AM

These b/w pictures come from my recent portfolio as I further documented historic and run down Fort Worth sites that some people might tend to overlook. Since the originals are matted 16x20 prints, my scanner couldn't accomodate them, so I took digital shots of them instead. Feel free to comment on them. I'll be posting some Mexico City shots I took this summer pretty soon on another thread, I'm currently busy enhancing them. See ya!

Note: once you click on the thumbnail and the picture loads, right-click and select "view image" for convenient resizing within your window.
