We have Gabriel Figueroa<\/a> skies today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This cinema master defined the look of the Mexican Golden Age<\/a>. His dramatic skies and enviable cloud porn were achieved with a polarizing red lens filter. The man’s depth of field was nothing short of magical.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inspired by such cinematic poetry, how could I not capture our own Southern California skies?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alta California<\/a> was once a part of Mexico. The similarity of landscape, climate and people in Orange County to those “South of the Border” are a testament to our Mexi-Indigenous heritage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
