The Photographers
Los fotógrafos

The six photographers contributing to this exhibition have been captivated by the drama of the region. Like the region, their approaches are diverse. The uniqueness of the greater Baja California region lies in its incredible diversity, in its outstanding richness, and in myriad creative ways we can look at it.
