There is an awful lot of living captured in your photos. I need to go back and only look at one at a time, everyone of them wants to tell me a story.
What a beautiful representation of your community. You've captured emotions rarely seen in print. Thank you! I hope to one day visit in person and let
my own eyes take it all in.

I hope you do visit and yes, they all have a story to tell. THANKS
Capt. Mike -- the original pictures were in full color and for this project, I processed these with some variations of some brown tones that I liked
and thought worked. I just like to experiment with lots of trial and errors.
I think I am going to do a second round, maybe.

A truly great collection of images, Diane. You've come so far so fast since you started about, what, 5 years ago.
If Asuncion has a museum of some sort you should offer some of these prints as a gallery somewhere, in the manner similar to Bondy's underwater
gallery at Morro Bay.
The B&W interpretation does a lot for these images. It's not that common any more and that's too bad.

I am sorry. Maybe I will do part two --- who needs to work anyway.
Glad you enjoyed them. I wasn't sure anyone except me would enjoy seeing these!

Yes, it was about 5 years ago when I first bought a camera that had something more than one button to push and started to read a lot---- still reading
a lot and learning a little more all the time. You have been VERY helpful --- sometimes in your silence. Your silence always makes me take a long look
at my picture as I know you won't say you like something if you don't like it and I respect your opinion.
I have some more that I think will work well and then I am not sure what I am going to do --- except when the project is complete, I will share it
with the people.
Thank you very much for your thoughts and comments.

Well, it's a testament to your drive and will power, Diane. How many people pick up a camera with the intention of being a good photographer and
slowly take the foot of the accelerator or just slowly veer off in another direction. But you've been relentless in your pursuit of photography. I've
watched the maturation process here over the years and the effort and desire to improve is clearly evident.

curious....
Here it is, and I suggest you play it on fast as few is a relative term.

I wanted to put it to music, but I don't know how to do that --- yet. |
once you get the music on there ,make about 1000 copies on DVDs and hand them out next time you go down.

The eyes tell the story
Beautiful images Diana. The eyes in the photos speak more than 1000 words. You clearly connect to the people in this community.
Thank you for sharing a very personal perspective of Asunción.
When I've been in San Ignacio Lagoon during semana Santa I've taken family photos Of the people who work there. Many times they have relatives
visiting for the holiday. I used to take a printer in my truck to print photos to share with them.
Some families would pose so I could take photos of them with their children. I've kept copies and as I've returned over the years they always like to
see pictures from the past. It is amazing to watch the children grow up.
Thank you again for the beautiful images.

Diane,
That's a very nice photo collection from your Baja home. I like your choice of isolating the subjects by leaving the lens wide open, in many of the
images. You know that I also appreciate BW and I think it was a good choice for this collection. Very good job.

Wonderful gallery of images! I am glad to see that you have posted them on the Asuncion Website. You have captured a time and a real slice of life in
that lovely place.
I love the faces, many of whom I have had the pleasure to meet. So many characters and so much life in the everyday!
I like to say "These are the good old days", helps me to stay focused on the NOW. The sepia tones capture a timelessness and nostalgia for how things
were only this is how they are. The Sepia and the contrasts give us clear, crisp images of people going about their lives. We supply the color in our
minds, the sepia invites us to reflect on our living history. Thank you very much for these wonderful images!

Diane,
You are very gracious in your thanks to the other great photographers who post here for their help. There is something you do so well though that
really can't be taught. You clearly have an eye for identifying a great subject and framing them to advantage. Most of us don't even see it when we
are there looking at it. Your ability to find, capture and share with us is greatly appreciated. You allow me to see and think about things I would
have missed otherwise.
John

Diane,
If you have a chance and have not already done so, check out 'The Americans' by Robert Frank from the library or book store.
There is much to learn from his images and a lot of it you have learned already on your own.

I really appreciate the really nice comments and appreciation of what I have tried to capture. For now, I added the password for very good reasons.

No such thing as a "bad" question .........
Seems I recall doing "that" at some point in time, in Baja .... it was for: "social", "cultural" and cementing continued strong bonds of friendship
with our fine neighbors to the south ........... every time
Thanks to them, who were and are so generous in sharing their "place" with some crazy ass Americans
