Balché II - a photo on Flickriver

Balché II

Infrared was unquestionably the right choice for this series: it was able to handle the tough light but, more importantly, it created that ethereal, magical feeling I wanted for these images because that's exactly how I felt standing in front of these amazing buildings. But there is another reason I think it worked so well. These ruins were built between 800 and 1,300 years ago and every living thing - plants, animals, people - have come and gone, come and gone over that time but the ruins remain there, permanent, enduring, eternal. I think the IR perfectly expresses that.

This project took 15 months from its first conception to putting it out there for you to see over the last few weeks . Every comment and every fave has meant the world to me. Thank you all so much.

This image is the last in a ten-image series of infrared images of Mayan ruins in Yucatan and Campeche, shot on a trip there in February, 2016. If you want to see more of the images, take a look at my Mexico album or my Infrared album.
