Baja sín color
Here are a handful of black and whites I took nearly 30 years ago. These were taken with a large format view camera. Each negative measures roughly
4x5". Enjoy!
Part of the old salt wharf at Laguna Guerrero Negro
Workers at the huge tomato fields south of San Quintín. These guys bound the plastic around the budding tomato plants.
This girl with her friends/family were weeders. She was perhaps 11 or 12. The air was heavy with dust and fertilizer, hence the mask.
This was the lighthouse for Laguna Guerrero Negro. Does anyone know if this is still standing?

Hi Diana -- I added another image from the archives. I will do some digging through my old files to see what else I can find. I recall a b/w negative
from the Cataviña area that I would like to find. Thanks for asking... Best, Jim

4x5 those were the days! Wonderful shots. Reminds me I should go through all those slides trays from the 70's & 80's that I never seem to have the
motivation to look at.

I shot a Toyo view and part of the appeal for me was loading the trays in the dark on the road. My wife carried the big camera on her hip like women
have carried babies since Adam and Eve. I couldn't afford the lenses I really wanted so I dropped down to medium format. Great shots Stimbo. Thanks,
takes me way back.
