While I was in Mexico a lot of people warned me not to go to Sinaloa because according to them it's dangerous there due to cartel activity. Nevertheless, I wanted to visit Mazatlan. I stayed there for a week and I had no issues whatsoever. That doesn't mean that things can happen but when you use common sense you'll probably alright. Shooting the Leica Q2 Monochrom in Mazatlan was a lot of fun and there will be more shooting film episodes coming from that great place in the not so distant future.
See you in the next one! :)

    Photography extraordinary as always. Yes, the photo of the 'birdman" is superb, but I also like a lot the photo of the people and the boat on the beach and the racquet player. With your extensive travel in Mexico, and if you feel comfortable, it would be interesting to hear your, or share, experiences while traveling during these times, like flights, accommodations and daily life in a country like Mexico, which seems to have a more relaxed approach than many countries here in Europe, especially Germany. Many thanks!.😊📷👍

    You always produce some great street (or sometimes beach?) shots and this was no exception. A good eye is crucial for street photography and everything else comes a distant 2nd. The "man and bird" shot is excellent, but I have to admit that my favorite would be the 'family' image. I think it's because of the umbrellas framing the picture, but more so because of the contrast between the organic (family, sand, natural) with the industrial/commercial dwarfing them ( hotel, steel, jagged edges). And hats off to you for ignoring the warnings about it being unsafe (from people who probably never leave their armchairs). I've found that no matter where I travelled most people are the same as me, decent and friendly people who just want to live their lives in peace and interact with others. We're all really the same, we've just been conditioned into thinking we're not by people who want to keep us separated.

    These episodes make me want to go to Mexico! I’m in Texas at the moment, and so that would be trivial. However, after reading warnings about violent crime published by the German federal foreign office, I’m worried about safety in Mexico. In particular, I think I wouldn’t dare walking around with an expensive camera and pointing it in the faces of strangers. Hats off to Robin for having the courage to do that, and thanks for the great pictures!

    Really nice shots ! The family is my favourite, framing work very well, and also textures of palm sun unbrella and of the building architecture are absolutely fabulous. The guy with brids is really good, I really like the shape of the main bird and the foot of the guy, but maybe the framing is too or not enough minimalistic...
