My wife Sheila and I
visited San Borjitas first in 2004 and next in
January 2010. This slideshow has photos from our January 2010
trip, plus
a few
from 2004. It
was the enhancement of one of my photos from the 2004 trip that
convinced me to put a lot
of effort into DStretch. I didn't take many photos then and those
I did take
were with a tiny Canon S400 camera. Not high quality. So I
have wanted to revisit
the cave and take better pictures. My chance came in January
2010,
but things didn't turn out
as well as I would have liked. In Mulege the INAH officials
discouraged us from even
trying to get there. We went anyway and after a long rough drive
got to the
rancho. We were lucky to find the Gorosave family there and
grateful to Maria for
offering to guide us. Next was a long tiring walk over a river bed full
of cobbles to get to
the cave. By then the light was beginning to fade and I had only
an hour to
photograph. I wish I had more time and could have taken better
and better framed
photographs, but the enhancement results have been astounding.
Very
beautiful! Check out my ceiling
slideshow to see what I mean.
I have since visited San Borjitas in April 2010 and taken more
photos. The road has been fixed and it is now much easier to get
to the cave. I have come to realize that the photos from January
are special. The late afternoon winter light gave a warm glow to
the images that is not present in the April pictures.
