Photo Essay Todos Santos, Baja California
Surrounded by 7,000 foot-tall peaks, Todos Santos is a palm oasis town nestled amid the palm groves near the southern tip of Baja California. About 6,000 people live here. Fishing, agriculture, and increasingly, tourism drive the local economy.
Todos Santos is one of those places where nature puts on her best show, all in a small space: mountains, desert, ocean.
Recently I was among a group that took a half-day photography workshop with New York-based photographer Judith Farber.
The pictures on this page are by myself and my wife, Penny. We hope you enjoy them!
