Inventory #V2A4890. This is the Temple of the Inscriptions at Palenque, a Mayan ruin in Chiapas, Mexico. In this temple was discovered the sarcophagus of the ruler Pakal. Palenque grew into a powerful city from the 2nd to the 8th century, AD. The difficulty photographing this temple is the crowd of people always in front of it, walking by, standing and looking. We returned to the site late in the day when there were fewer people and I was able to actually catch it without anyone in front of it!

A photographer since the age of 8 when I received my first camera as a gift from my grandmother, I learned the art of photography by studying such current great artists as George Lepp, Dewitt Jones and Art Wolfe. My inspiration is God's beautiful creation, and I attempt to record it faithfully, shooting landscapes, flowers, animals, and anything that captures my fancy. I shot film until 2012 when I purchased my first pro digital camera. Now I do both, and do all of the creation in the camera before the snap. If the image isn't good enough to print as taken, it is discarded instead of being "improved" through Photoshop. I have my own darkroom and love making my own prints from negatives. One of my favorite techniques is to hand paint...
