I had the privilege of staying a week in Tijuana and getting to know some of the beautiful people that live there.

Every year ASMP takes the photographs for the San Diego Architectural Foundation’s Orchids and Onions award event. This year I had the privilege of photographing the San Diego-Tijuana border. These photos were taken from the Tijuana side of the border. It’s always fascinating to me to see the contrasts between the American and the Mexican sides of the border. The Mexican side has life right up to the border fence. Some fancy houses use the border to close in their backyard. There are always people hanging out on the beach next to the border. There are restaurants. This time there was even art hung on the border. However, on the American side there are no houses, no businesses, nothing for miles. There is an abondoned park with empty picnic tables, no grass, nothing but the cement tables and trashcans. It’s so desolate. I’ve never seen anyone except for the border patrol on the American side.
