Dominoes, a game played religiously almost in Venezuela, Cuba, and other Caribean countries. It seems simple, but can go on for a long, long time. Here are a few outtakes from a Venezuelan barbeque in San Diego. I had to shoot at 3200 so hopefully the colors don’t look like total crap, since i’ve noticed wordpress seems to get funky when posting high ISO pics

First visit, or at least real time spent in Tijuana rather than commuting to and from the airport. I don’t know what to make of the city. We went from a starbucks in the Rio zona to the “wall” that comprises the U.S.-Mexico border along the beach and ended up at a boxing match framed by the entrance arc to Revolucion (The main tourist drag).
I think border towns are interesting, unique places unto themselves which could not be categorized as being 100% one country or another. What I hate about them is the desperation and need that comes with a country of immense need sharing a border with a country that has little need, only wants.
Here are a couple of pics that I liked, but I’ll add more later.
