Non-fishing pics
During the year and a half or so I spent researching my book, the vast majority of my pictures were boating- and fishing-related, intended either for
the book or for some magazine story or another. Still, I managed to pick up a few other decent shots. Hope you all see something that triggers a
pleasant memory or sparks your interest in a new place to visit.

Hey ZThomas, Thanks for the jolt to my memories...You certainly have an eye for composition in your photos and a wonderful selection of subjects. I
can almost smell the aroma of the fish market. Keep up the good work!

Great pictures. I had a beer at that same table on Pichilingue Bay last time we were down. Great place to kick back.

I hope the next book you publish will be of your non-fishing photos of Baja!!!
I think you've captured all of the romance without sentimentality. Good art and good journalism shown here-- thank you so much for posting them!

Hey;
Got my book in the mail yesterday and got through the first three chapters last night. Almost brought it to work today but...then I wouldn't have got
anything done (besides get a high temp baja fever!!). Great book so far.
Those pics capture the feel of baja.

Wow--thanks for all the compliments!
BMG: Most of those are with either the original Canon Digital Rebel--that very first digital SLR that came out for under $1000--or a Digital Rebel XTi
from about a year and a half ago.
I use a couple of Sigma lenses--a 10-20mm wide-angle zoom and a 24-70mm f2.8 zoom--primarily because they're the cheapest decent brand.
Used to use both bodies at the same time, one with each lens. But then, ironically after all the abuse it took in Baja and all the hours it spent
offshore on a small open boat, I finally dunked the older body a couple months ago while photographing a story on fly fishing for damn CARP in
knee-deep water outside Fallon, NV. So now I'm down to just the XTi.

I have a VERY stressful job in the inner city in Los Angeles. Prior to wading through all of the violence of the night before, I frequently browse
Nomad for a photo for the background of my computer monitor. This had to be one of the best posts on Nomad in quite a few months! I have many
inspirational photos to pick from. Should last me a few weeks! OUTSTANDING photos. I bought your book soon after it came out. Was worth every penny!
thanx Zack! .. Jon..
