Vern, are you still shooting with the 20/30D and those fancy lenses?
if you are, i have to ask, what is happening with the picture quality?
[no offense intended]
most of the pictures you have posted lately are not of the quality i usually see of you and your camera.
did something change?

on a side note, i was in Mex again this weekend.
i guess things are really getting stressed down there.
in the Gringo paper they were talking about a lot of scary stuff in Rosarito, and Puerto de Nuevo.
do you have any insight?

Rosarito Police Station Attacked
Heavily armed Commandos
BY ALBERTO CAPONE

A commando squad armed with assault rifles attacked the Rosarito Police Station last week, in an attempt to assassinate the newly installed Police Chief. The assailants suddenly arrived in four trucks, ran into the station, and opened fire. The commandos penetrated into the inside office of the police chief, but fortunately he was not there. The police managed to fend off the attack, but two police officers died and two civilians were wounded in the incident.

Inside the police station, the walls and interior were full of bullet holes. The attack evidently was aimed at the police chief, because his interior office was completely destroyed. After the shoot out, the commandos boarded the four vehicles and escaped, abandoning the autos nearby. Inside the autos, investigators found two empty .223 cartridges and other assault items. Also recovered were 30 .223 cartridges, 100 of caliber 7.2 and 23 9mm cartridges.

Funeral services with full honors were performed at City Hall for the two fallen police officers, Guillermo Castro Corona, and Leonel Pizana Trip, who were both bodyguards for the police chief. City officials claimed that the attacks occurred in retaliation for recent crime crackdowns by the new Administration, although the new officials only took office on December 1. Numerous tourist groups have cancelled plans to visit Baja because of the incident.

The latest attack is not the first time that Rosarito police have been targeted by organized crime. A few years ago, Rosarito Police Chief Carlos Bowser was assassinated as he exited his home in the morning by a squadron of assailants. Later, two Rosarito police officers were beheaded when they attempted to investigate a party being held by arrested drug kingpin Javier Arrello Felix in the hills behind Rosarito. Many commentators believe that the latest attack is an attempt by organized crime to show the new City Administration who is in charge of Rosarito.

Because of this assault and also because of carjacking reports in the US press, Rosarito police have set up a number of checkpoints and security operations in Rosarito and along the toll road during the holidays. Expect increased vigilance and police activity into the new year.

If visiting Mexico dont dress as a police? IF your at a taco stand and everyone starts to leave quickly you best too.

Dont know Erik I'm comfortable weaving around down there. Its actually about the same as it was 20yrs ago. Now its just more visable because of the faster communication..
