FACES AND PLACES–TORONTO, ONTARIO

erikhoward — Sun, 04 Oct 2009 02:23:04 +0000

Leave your car at home! A nice train ride into Toronto dumps you off on Front Street where you can get wherever you need to go by cab, street car, or shoe. Once you get settled in find a place to get your day pass for local transit and you’re off! From Yonge Street to Queen Street West and Kensington Market to Spadina the food, businesses, art, and culture will captivate you. This town is must see… bring a camera.

If you’re on Queen Street W in Toronto make sure to set aside some time to take a peek in the alleys behind the shops on the south side of the street. Its worth the extra steps if you enjoy public art.

TULUM, QUINTANA ROO, MEXICO

Tulum. A beautiful location about a 2 hour drive south from Cancun in Mexico. The smaller town feel is a fine contrast to the international airport and world class resorts about 125 miles up the road. Its great to be able to enjoy the Carribbean without having to shell out hundreds of dollars a day to seclude yourself from the interior beauties of nature and culture located just outside the resorts. Enjoy the photographs of the people, places, and food of Tulum!

Check back soon… more Tulum pics to come including Mayan Ruins, local towns, and some cenotes!!

While at Playa Azul in Tulum I had the opportunity to spend some of my afternoons with some wonderful couples visiting the hotel. Phillip and Natasha escaped the hustle and bustle of Boston for an escape to the Mayan Riveria. A beautiful couple and paradise backdrop set the stage for a great experience that produced new friends and some fun shots!

While at Playa Azul in Tulum I had the opportunity to spend some of my afternoons with some wonderful couples visiting the hotel. Brett and Kim from Portland were able to enjoy a week away from Portland before their school district called them back to work another 10 month cycle of educating young people. It was great getting to spend some time getting to know them and taking some photographs .

PLAYA AZUL–TULUM, MEXICO

Playa Azul Hotel and Restaurant in Tulum, Quintana Roo, Mexico was a pleasant surprise nestled between the Caribbean and the jungle in the Mayan Riveria! The location is only a short drive from Tulum, the jungle, cenotes, Mayan Ruins, and more history and culture than can be listed. When we spoke about me coming down to take pictures for the website and brochures I didn’t know exactly what to expect upon arrival but what I found was everything mentioned above as well as a tranquil environment and more interesting people than can be recounted. WHAT AN EXPERIENCE!! I can’t wait to return for more work and play at Playa Azul!

CRENSHAW BOULEVARD–SOUTH CENTRAL LOS ANGELES

After the Stylistics Toy Drive I met up with Gerardo… a friend of Volo’s who was willing to make room for an extra passenger to cruise Crenshaw. I followed him to his house, dropped off the rental car, and got in. Immediately I started with questions. He told me about the neighborhood in South Central where we were. Then about Crenshaw and the lowriding scene in general in LA. I’m sure my excitement was obvious but I didn’t mind and he didn’t seem to either. As we were getting close more and more lowriders came into view–at the lights, behind us, in front of us, parked… just everywhere. First he showed me the Slauson Swap Meet, then some graffiti, and then after a couple laps we chose our parking spot so that we could get out when the cops break it up later. From there we got our cameras and started to walk. The rest is told through the pics below. Thanks to Gerardo for making room and showing me around! Much appreciated. Enjoy.
