Have not ventured south for a while and thinking about hitting the road to catch these views live.

They are all great, but the Blue Whale is my favorite.

Ken, you always get it right! These images take you to each and every place exactly as one would think of them. Thank you!

A rich portfolio it is! Gracias.

Skipjack Joe - 1-9-2014 at 10:59 PM

There must be a lot of fine memories that go along with these images. The 'keyhole' image had that effect on me.

Thanks for sharing, Ken.

Thanks Whale-ista. The older ones are with a Nikon F5 (film), the newer ones (digital) with a Nikon D70. The underwater shots are with a Fuji S2-Pro in a Subal housing.

Ken,

I love all of your photos. The old Bahia pics made my heart happy, then sad at the same time. It wasn't that long ago, but the change is immense. I miss the town and the simple, quiet, empty streets.

In your Mulege photo, the guy standing in the door looks familiar for some reason. I can't recall his name, and I'm driving Dern crazy trying to jog his brain too. A photographer, a wild man, drove a van, friends with a pilot or a pilot himself, passed away now.....It's going to bug me till I remember his name.

Thank you again.
P>*)))>{

ps. Your campfires look....fun.

on edit: Man, this is really bothering me. He had a one word nickname. He visited bahia a lot. It's on the tip of my tongue...the last time I saw him was at the Laguna Chapala turn off, a Score race, camping out for the night, multiple cameras around his neck....argh!

Thanks so much Paulina. Don't exactly know how this got started but it was fun. Just looking through some old photos....

The guy standing in the door of Nancy's in Mulege is Mike Neeser, an old friend of mine. He is a pilot (owned a beautiful Seneca) and we made several Baja flying trips together. I don't think he is the guy you are thinking of, Mike is still on this side of the sod. Again, thanks, these brought back a lot of good memories for me.....++Ken++

Paulina - 2-1-2014 at 08:49 PM

Ken,

It just now popped into my head, your friend in the photo, Mike Neeser reminded me of Killer Kane. Did you know him?

It only took me three weeks or so to remember his name, this getting old stuff is for the birds.

Doesn't ring any bells for me Paulina. Getting old is BRUTAL, you have no idea!!!

Thanks! Nothing like a full MOON over the campfire

Skipjack Joe - 2-1-2014 at 10:23 PM

I took an amazing shot of a moon on my last trip as well.

Take the graded road northeast from Laguna Chapala (Hwy. 1) for 13 miles...

... Or, (as mentioned above) head south from Gonzaga Bay 23 miles.
