Entering the Church Grounds

Taxco is just 100 miles southwest of Mexico City and is one of Mexico's most beloved colonial towns. Perched on steep hillsides, Taxco was once a silver mining town and is now best known for its silver craft. Taxco is picturesque with white stucco buildings, red-roof tiles, winding cobbled streets, antique churches, and romantic little plazas. This image is an example of one of the beautiful churches that can be explored in Taxco, Mexico.

I have always appreciated photography and began my own journey years ago exploring and refining my eye for seeing, respecting, and capturing the beauty around me. My journey with photography has exposed me to some amazing moments that are powerful memories that stay with me just the same. I have found myself drawn to photo essays since still photography is a powerful way to translate conditions and experiences between different cultures. I am motivated and dedicated to using my skills as a photographer to tell powerful and meaningful stories that evokes an understanding and/or action.
