Ensenada
While I'm hanging out in Ensenada with el broken axle, I've been experimenting with my newfangled digital camera (Sony NEX5) combined with my old
Canon manual focus lenses.

Something tells me I'd be tossed on my ass if I set up a tripod and and started shooting that scenery.

Once the clouds rolled in I thought I'd try some more night shots under the new light.

The security dweebs on the malecon told me I couldn't take photos anymore. I argued for a moment but it wasn't going anywhere. They said my photos
were "too serious" and therefore "prohibited". While they were discussing me on their walkie talkies I grabbed my gear and walked off, figuring they
didn't care enough to follow me.
Tomorrow I'll be back ...

I don't get it. What were you shooting, and who were the security people?

The cargo ship above.
The security dweebs are the folks walking around the malécon in reflective vests. I see them out there from time to time but it was too dark to read
their insignia.
They looked like private port security guards.
This sort of thing happens fairly often in the states where various authority and pseudo-authority figures think photographing stuff is a sign of OMG
TERRAR and wrongly think they have any authority to stop the photographer.

You should take this to the department of tourism....just for laughs anyway. It is over-the-line absurd.

If there is anybody I can complain to I will happily devote 20 minutes of my life to raising a stink.

Probably no one who really matters or cares, but if you put together a story explaining your indignation, such as these restrictions bringing to a
sudden stop your plans to organize an international symposium for night photography that promised to draw thousands of afficianados to Ensenada for a
couple of weeks,....it might ruin someone's day.
Wouldn't that be fun.
Another issue...it's long been known that most drugs transiting the area to points north are moving in containers.
Just a thought.

Well, if the sky looks promising I'll be back out there tomorrow and I'll try and get a better look at their uniforms.
As long as they appear to have no arresting authority I'll take their photos and ask for their names. Then we'll really find out how much they care
about photography.

I LOVE the last one you posted...you are getting really good at night port portraits...practise makes perfect! How long are you going to be stuck in
Ensenada? My daughter Sirena is there now and would be fun to hang with her a bit...she can show you some secret spots!

Thank you - appreciate the kind thoughts.
I gave up on the upgraded parts I ordered from the states and instead ordered a junkyard axle. It should be here today (waiting to hear from Monchie)
in which case I'll be on the road tomorrow, but, like everything in México, vamos a ver. I'll U2U my contact info.
