Baja California Sur

JUNCALITO, Baja California Sur, Mexico

May 12, 2020 by marty 2 Comments

Back in the late 60s, my Father took me to Baja California on a life-changing adventure.

Before the trans-peninsular Highway had been completed, one of the preferred routes was to drive to Los Mochis in Sinaloa and take the ferry across the Sea of Cortez to Santa Rosalia.

It was my first time driving— shifting the gritty manual transmission of the International Harvester Scout 80 as we headed south past Mulegé & Bahía Concepción to a quiet little beach called Juncalito.

As we pulled up, my Dad grabbed his cowboy hat, got out of the jeep, and walked over to the family living there on the playa. I snapped this picture of him as he was teaching me the incredible ritual of respectfully greeting the locals before spending the night nearby.

Later that afternoon, as we were preparing dinner, Dad gave me 1/2 bucket of the fresh shrimp that we purchased just before boarding the ferry, I walked over to their casa to share the flavorful treats. The next morning at breakfast, the gesture was returned as the fisherman shared a beautiful Sea Bass for us to enjoy.

This artistic image was created from one of my first exposures on my Kodak Instamatic Camera.

San Ignacio Cemetery, Baja California Sur, Mexico

April 2, 2014 by marty Leave a Comment

One of my favorite pueblos… 
Baja’s finest Mission façade rises over the peaceful central plaza, orZócalo.
San Ignacio is a palm oasis just off Highway 1, 
a couple hours south of the state line which divides the Baja Peninsula in half.
Over the years I’ve been fortunate to spend time with the people of San Ignacio,
the photographic opportunities are endless…
It’s a challenge to get up before the first rooster crows,
those that do are often rewarded with colorful sunrises as I was…
Above San Ignacio this Hilltop Cemetery with a cross of honor rising to the sky.

Captured in 1985 on Kodachrome 25, Nikon F3, Nikkor 50mm 1.4

First Light Panga on Bahía Concepción

March 22, 2014 by marty Leave a Comment

Baja’s Fisherman, the Pescadores are up long before dawn.
To get the best color, I would set up my camera in the dark to be in position at first light!
Highway 1 south of Mulege is among the most scenic stretches while driving Baja California.
Here the highway winds along the shores of Bahía Concepción.
Among the largest Bays on the Peninsula, it stretches 30 miles in length, up to 6 miles in width.
Turquoise waters, white sand beaches, peaceful inlets dotted with Islands & occasional Palms.
Among the scenic Concepcion Bay camping spots… Playa Santispac, Playa Escondida & Playa El Coyote.

Captured in 1985 on Kodachrome 25, Nikon F3, Nikkor 80-200mm zoom

Isla Espíritu Santo is located in the Gulf of California just offshore from Baja California Sur’s capitol city of La Paz.
Popular with Sea Kayakers, this area is protected by UNESCO as a biosphere.
Connected by a narrow isthmus to Isla Partida, uninhabited Espíritu Santo is Mexico’s 12th largest island.
