What is an Escaramuza? Think Female Rodeo Queens of Mexico!

We spent the first 10 days of June In San Miguel de Allende – our home away from home. One of the highlights of the trip was going to the Escaramuza on Sunday, June 8. I really didn’t know what to expect – and, I was most pleasantly surprised. Here is a great article I found online that explains it quite well: Click here for an Escaramuza Article to learn about the historical origins of the event.

It was great to be surrounded by so much energy and all the vibrant colors. The riding was excellent and I couldn’t stop taking pictures. By the way, all photos were shot with the Ricoh GRX IIIX with the 40 mm lens. The camera is small enough to fit in a shirt pocket. The quality speaks for itself. I left my Fuji X100V at home and this GR III might be my travel camera from now on.

My work for pay was technical writing. But my passion is collecting classic photo gear and using film cameras and digital cameras to capture images that inspire and motivate me. I hope that you are inspired as well. This site is more about my places that my wife and I go on our travels. Or articles about cameras and lenses that I am currently using. Sometimes I will include links to images that I want to share with you.
