These fishermen swim 20-40 meters in the ocean to catch lobsters and other fish with harpoon guns! The fish is then sold to the hotels and tourists located along the shores of Tulum, Mexico.

Taken on the beaches of Tulum, Mexico. First time I’ve ever experienced such a warm beach with crystal clear water, and sand as soft as powdered sugar.

Landscape Photography
Woke up at 6am to catch the sunrise over the ocean, didn’t get exactly what I wanted but it was still very beautiful! When I first arrived on the beach it didn’t even cross my mind that I couldn’t watch the sunset over the Atlantic! Tulum, Mexico.
Photo Gear
This camera has seen the Pacific and Atlantic ocean all within a week! This camera is impervious to the elements, water (up to 160ft), sand (quite the killer of anything with moving parts), and snow! Came out in the ’80s, and features a very sharp lens. It has a rangefinder with no auto focus, focusing is scale based. Taken some practice but I’ve come to enjoy estimating distance along with the other manual controls. Scale focus is astonishingly accurate, I lose maybe a shot or two a roll from focus, but I try to use a smaller aperture to give me leeway. The meter isn’t bad, I tend to overexpose according to the system, which can quickly lose shadow detail. I highly recommend this camera! Use it in the rain and when traveling, and it makes me feel safe because it’s a steel brick.
