The red bench in this photograph is one of many on a newly built walkway along the shoreline of Lake Chapala, in the small, charming town of San Crystobal.

The True Colors photographic series is a creative tribute to the colorful landscapes, culture and style of south-central Mexico. One hundred of my favorite photos out of the thousand-plus taken have been selected for the website, developed separately from the main website to highlight the project as one complete and independent Art endeavor. Using the Paint Shop Pro computer program I’ve isolated a main portion of each shot, then superimposed this colored image on top of a black and white version of the same photo. Altering the photos this way has a powerful effect on our impression of the subject matter. In some cases the true colors intensify so much against the grey tones the scene becomes surreal. The website groups this photgraphy into themes and can be viewed at http://www.trucolors.info
