Mexican Guide and Photographer Educated at the Universidad Nacional de Artes Plásticas in Mexico, my major is in Visual Arts, required that I took classes in all mediums, but always knew that guiding people thru my beloved Mexico was my passion. Now, I am a freelance guide in the Mexican's Wine country, having 12 years experience in Mexico and over 5 countries. I am Wine, Extreme sports, Mexican history, Shopping unic Mexican craftings, and Nature guide. Most of my guiding has been focused on outdoor adventures, tourist destinations, wine's industry and historic sites. I have also been hired as a freelance guide for mountain bicycling in Germany (Bavarian Country) and Spain (Balearic Island), in Mexico: Cancun, Cozumel, Hisla Mujeres, Los cabos, Loreto, La Paz, etc. Since boyhood, I had a passion for observing and recording the natural world and the people who inhabit it. During my teenage years, my interest in people and the wild was a consuming one, but it would be 8 years later before I picked up a camera in order to combine photography with guiding people. During the intervening years, I worked in various outdoors sports-related jobs such as water sports and rock climbing. I was attracted to these careers because they were risky and dangerous. They also taught me, first hand, how to capture the intense beauty of man in the outdoors. Later, as I matured, I developed techniques for portraits and weddings while living in Chicago, Boston and LA. Today, I devote more time to my own Guest House in Ensenada, Mexico. BD.Lic.
