There is nothing like a new camera + your first time to a new place in almost three years to crank up the desire to capture everything.

After departing Baja, we found ourselves in the heart of Mexico City—ready to celebrate a dear friend’s birthday and devour every site, sound, cocktail, and delicious meal we could find.

These are some snapshots from seven lovely days in this big, beautiful city. There were visits to the usual important sites, along with afternoons wandering lesser known nooks and crannies of this fascinating place.

And oh, was this so much fun with my new X100V. Full collection of photos (plus some iPhone snaps) here.
