Sayulita, Mexico (part one)

Sayulita, Mexico, is a magical place. It’s saturated with color, lush vegetation, amazing local artists, some of the friendliest people I’ve encountered, and the best margaritas I’ve ever had. I traveled there with my husband and two close friends for seven nights in late November through early December, and I finally just finished editing and narrowing down the abundance of photos I shot to a number I can manageably present.

I recently retired my Canon 5D Mark II, which had been my reliable companion for almost a decade, for a Fuji X-Pro2 (outfitted with the 23mm f/1,4 lens). The Fuji is mirrorless, which presented a pretty significant learning curve since I’ve only ever used an SLR. Thankfully, Sayulita had no shortage of eye-catching scenes, so I got to practice a lot.

This is my first blog post in nearly a decade. The photos I made in Sayulita motivated me to create an entirely new blog through Squarespace, a platform much more well-suited for photo-viewing than Wordpress (I won’t bother linking my old one because all of the photos have since been watermarked with the Photobucket logo—how antiquated!). There will be three installments of Sayulita photos, plus an additional post containing all the Polaroids I shot but have yet to scan. I hope you enjoy the first.
