I’m starting something new called Friday’s Favourite. Or Friday’s Photo Favourites. Or something of that nature. Suggestions on the name are totally welcome by the way.
Anyway, the point is that every Friday I’ll be posting a favourite photo of mine that I’ve hauled out from the vault. With my new blog I’ve been determined to feature more of my personal photos, so I figure something regular and scheduled will help me stay disciplined. I have a friend who posts a photo a day to her Facebook wall using her iphone. Overachiever.
As of late, I’ve been dreaming about Villa del Faro, this incredible eco-hotel which was built by an American family of artists who slaved for YEARS to create this stunning out-of-the-way villa by hand. It’s a crazy-rough drive out a ways from San Jose del Cabo and not for those who get motion sick; definitely white-knuckle driving at its finest. But oh the reward… Cozied up to the Sea of Cortez and overflowing with hand-hewn architecture and careful landscaping, this place is heaven. Will and I spent the last several days of our honeymoon in this jaw-dropping lap of luxury. And at not too bad a deal either…we didn’t stay in the casitas or villa, which are pricier, we actually stayed ON the beach in a rock-walled, thatched roof cottage with solar shower and pit toilet! No complaints here amigos, we had a private beach all to ourselves. We also had this ridiculously gorgeous pool all to ourselves as it was July and not anywhere near the busy season. Oh, and did I mention the food was killer? And best margaritas you ever did partake of! Devora, our hostess, was the cherry on top of it all–warm, hospitable, and oh-so friendly. We’ve actually stayed in touch and I cannot wait to see this wonderful woman again. I also can’t wait for some warm weather. Come ON California!!! I know this isn’t SoCal, but it’s June for crying out loud, and we’re about to have to put chains on our tires so we can get to the wedding I’m shooting in Tahoe this weekend!

Ahhhhhh……just staring at that makes me forget all about the snow. Glorious.
Well I’m outta here like a heard of turtles. Feel free to pitch in your suggestions for photos you’d like to see on Fridays!
Adios!
