Man walking the dusty road in rural Mexico

This series of photos was taken in rural Mexico, near Mazatlan. I was on an open air bus and noticed this old man walking along the road ahead of us, so I just started snapping the sequence. I was curious what the old man was going to look like, once we got ahead of him. This was taken with auto on my Nikon D40x, pre-photography class.

My favorite photo taken at Tumwater Falls

The field trip at Tumwater Falls on July 10 was a lot of fun and I learned a lot. I wouldn't have known how to take this photo a month ago with the same results.
