I've been photographing Sayulita for about 10 years, some of which have been seen here in El Sayulero. This Saturday I'm having a show of my some favorite photos I've taken over the years. Here is a sneak preview. Stop by Garcia Realty Saturday 5-7pm to take a look.

I don't always keep up with the current events of Sayulita, but I'm always photographing the people of Sayulita. Here are a few people I see all the time around town....

Sayulita had its first Dia de Muertos Festival in the Plaza this year; the altars that Sayuleros made were beautiful and quite poignant, especially given that so many of the people whom the altars honored have died in recent years and months.

My friend Jose Luis Caselin asked if I would photograph his posse of Stand-up surfers on Independence Day. Usually I have to prod and poke people to get them to be in photos for me, so I jumped at the chance. Who knew a bunch of guys could come up with such fun props and poses for a little photo shoot? Here they are, Sayulita's finest SUP surfers.

All sorts of people make up the community of Sayulita. Some have lived here since they were kids, like Simone Gomez Cibrian, who is now retired and raises chickens and cultivates organic basil. And some, like Mary Greenfield, moved here full time years ago--after her children were grown--and started painting.

But then again, maybe it is? Who knew there were actual disco balls in the homes of Sayuleros?

Sayulita summer. Yes it's hot, humid, sticky. But it's also beautiful, quiet...the beaches are empty, the water is warm. We had our first rain on Tuesday night and soon all the hillsides will be amazingly green. I think this is my favorite time of year. See what you're missing?

I'm not really religious, but I've always like the idea that this giant cross was watching over Sayulita. I made a little pilgrimage from my house, up and over the hill to photograph it--and had some nice views on the way. I thought it was appropriate for Palm Friday and Easter. Happy Easter!

There are some things you just can't get done in Sayulita. Getting your eyes checked and camera repaired are a couple. One simply must venture down to the big city--PV. This week, my favorite guys in Puerto Vallarta are Alberto, the optician at Costco and Ernesto Botello , the best camera repairman (and only one as far as I can tell) in all of Puerto Vallarta. Both are excellent at what they do, extremely nice and very good sports about being photographed. Thanks, guys. I see everything much clearer now.
