Chilingo

We flew into Mexico City yesterday afternoon, and I always think that the best view of the volcanoes is from the air. As you fly in, you can see the two closest ones to Mexico City, and you can see other volcanoes as well. I snapped this picture quickly from the plane.

I have never seen anything like this anywhere else but Mexico. There is a dog in my neighborhood who either thinks he’s a lion, or his owners wanted a lion but could only find a dog at the pet store.

I got playing around with tiltshiftmaker.com and some of my photos of Mexico City.

“Tilt-shift miniature style photos are pictures of real-life scenes that are manipulated to look like model photographs.”

Here’s what I came up with. It makes Mexico City look like a model city. I need to tinker a little more with them, but here are my first attempts.

You can see the whole set here.

Here’s an interesting group of Swine Flu Portraits from Mexico City.
