From Sky to Stone: A Mexican Journey

A descent from the twilight skies above sprawling cities into the sun-baked agave fields, colonial streets, and ornate churches of Mexico. Through aerial vistas, candid black-and-white portraits, and richly detailed architecture, this album captures the quiet textures and warm light of a country seen from above and at eye level.
