Roundly textured adobe next to sharp cacti fronds, rippled clouds floating over tiled roofs, curving terra cotta figures under a sharp overhang. . . subtle contrasts infuse the landscape in Mexico. The observation of these subtleties provides the photographer with endless inspirations for abstractions. Mexican light surrounds one with a softened luminescence, gentle, warm and intense. The inner being pulses with the rhythms of the earth as the Mexican soul pulses to the rhythm of its music. Life flows into the shadows.
