Todos Santos 08/09

There were wild cattle and horses everywhere, and nowhere to run. This bull was far more uninterested in us then the pack of horses running at us down a one lane dirt road. The weirdest part was they actually stopped, moved off the road, waited for us to pass, then continued on. I would've just ran us over to be honest.

This is actually someone's yard, located right beside a couple broken down cars and a burnt out house, right in the middle of town.

Roof of burnt down house. Holding up well it seems.

Ice cream! Don't think I ever saw this place open, along with most of any other business within the town anytime in the afternoon. They take their siestas very seriously here, so if you want to eat at a local restaurant don't bother between the hours of 12pm to about 8pm.

This giant dandy had the brightest red pants I've ever seen, and was extremely tall.

Bust old house.

Police, also taking a siesta.

Traveling family of hippies outside the church. I didn't hate them as much as I hate regular hippies because they seemed extremely sincere about the whole thing.

Roof of the church. I always take shots like this, I don't know why. I like roofs.

I think this was the only fully Buddhist/Scientology temple in the entire town.

Johnny buying a hat he soon after started destroying so it didn't look new. We thought it might keep every third person from thinking we had any money and trying to sell us a bunch of Mexican themed garbage, but we completely forgot all three of us are blindingly white.

Future Professional Hat Salesman, or FPHS for short. And seriously, what is that guy in the back getting all contorted about?

I guess I should also note I shot all these on an Olympus Trip 35 with Iford XP2 400 film. I still can't believe the shots that thing takes considering it's more than likely over 20 years old, no autofocus and almost completely automatic. I'll probably keep it forever and considering it's all metal there's a good possibility that'll happen.
