Rest Relaxation and Snapping- a trip to the Happy Caribe
Wick Beavers Photographer
757 to San Juan and a cab ride to the Old City- in 2 hours and 15 minutes, you are hanging out with Ponce De Leon and Chris Columbus, maybe Cortez hit the oldest church in the new world before he passed the clap around to the Aztecs and Incas and went north to Taos for some killer skiing and maybe a Navajo sweat lodge for some soul searching and good insider info on where the hell Cibola REALLY is/was... the COLORS of Old town will get any architectural photographer's heart rate clocking, the architecture is old world- this place, in maybe 8 x
4 blocks at the end of the point on the east/ocean side of the harbor of San Juan is Sevilla, Barcelona, Toledo and the Alhambra all in one.
So, after a little screwing around snapping the walls and fort, the wonderful and brilliant Miss Cindy Lou shows up with her bag of goodies and she starts in on a very young and very excited little girl, then she does Krystle, Lee and the rest and we are snapping at the laundry across the street from the Sol de Mexico, which is our base after we get booted by the land lords for having the audacity of bringing in sexy models and a make up artist, imagine- this has to be the oldest building a laundramat is parked in between 3000 miles to the west and
maybe 25,000 miles to the east. Unreal! And the floor is tiled black and white like La Mancha and the laundry spins and the colors are saturated and the driers go round and round and the place makes me sing and my sensor cry.
Then it's off to Culebra, so named by the same fellow the great city in Ohio is named for, only there- in Columbus- Chris never stepped on a snake. If he had, he would have named the city in Ohio, Snake City. He didn't land on one THERE (in fact, he never even showed up in Cleveland), but he did indeed tread on a serpent in the little spanish virgin island off to windward of Puerto Rico proper, which is still named today the name he called it then (according to Anone, the one armed helmsman of the fine yacht, Pinta), Culebra.
WHAT?
A few landscapes and architecturals and we came away with some fun stuff that looks pretty unique and makes me feel like I was on a big multi dimensional level photo shoot abroad.
What are we advertising? Our talents, my friends, our talents and our love of the medium.
Remember, stay thirsty, be vigilant and Go Shopping.
Finally, ask AIG for the money back.
Go Snap.
