Las Labradas translates to “the carvings.” And the beach just north of Mazatlan is filled with carvings on its coastal rocks. Travelers don’t come here to swim or soak in the sun, but rather to take a look at the numerous and mysterious petroglyphs. Known to locals for hundreds of years, the engraved rocks have […]

Sunset Sunday-The Mazatlán Carnaval Parade Halftime Sunset
by Craig Zabransky on February 17, 2013 in Sunset Sunday
Sunday’s spectacular Carnaval Parade in Mazatlán even provided the 400,000 who lined the malecón with a vibrant half time show – the sunset. All week during Mazatlán Carnaval the sunset impressed, and as much as I wanted to capture the themed floats along the malecón in the best (my favorite) hour of light it wasn’t in […]
Getting Photographed in my Kilt on the beach, Isle of Arran, Scotland
by Craig Zabransky on February 14, 2013 in Beach
I never thought I’d be involved with the beach photos, but when I dressed up in a traditional Scottish Kilt at a wedding on the Isle of Arran, I was automatically put into the van. It is a tradition in Scotland. All men brave enough to wear a kilt at a wedding get photographed. I […]
A Spring Lake Summer Surf Session
by Craig Zabransky on February 7, 2013 in Beach
As a New Yorker, I am not supposed to be a fan of New Jersey. But truth be told, I learned to surf at the Jersey Shore and I am a fan. My first time paddling past the break was in Spring Lake, a beach where I spent seven straight summers. I had some good […]
Postcard – The Beijing Commute
by Craig Zabransky on February 6, 2013 in Photo, Postcards
When I traveled to Beijing, China for work more than a few years back, my commute to the office traveled straight through Tiananmen Square. Every morning I passed the Forbidden City. It was one of my favorite moments of the day and one morning I took my camera. But what may have been more impressive then […]
Sunset Sunday – A Stop for a Holiday In(n) Mazatlan
by Craig Zabransky on February 3, 2013 in Mexico Travel, Sunset Sunday
Next week I’ll be starting another holiday Mazatlan. It will be a special holiday too. I am heading to Mazatlan for Carnival. I’ve heard the celebration is the third largest in the Americas (Rio, New Orleans are 1,2), now I’ll finally know first hand. Therefore as part of my preparation I reviewed my images from […]
A Little Beach Time in Yelapa, Mexico
by Craig Zabransky on January 31, 2013 in Beach, Mexico Travel
South of Puerto Vallarta and only accessible by boat, Yelapa can be a little off the main tourist trail. Yet, the beach town popular as a boating excursion, does fill up midday with visitors. Most spend time at the beachfront talapas enjoying an afternoon lunch and some refreshing cocktails or cervezas. I know I joined them.
Sunset Sunday – A Snowy Return to Beaver Lake, PA
by Craig Zabransky on January 27, 2013 in Sunset Sunday
I spend plenty of time in the Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania. My family lives there and it makes for a great escape from the city. I visit each and every season and honestly enjoy them all. I also captured a few sunsets over the years. This winter, over Christmas Break, after a fresh snowfall I […]
