Alamos, Sonora, Mexico

AlamosWell after a month of effort, here is the final gallery of "watercolor" photos from my trip to the state of Sonora, Mexico in December 2002. Working on these photos has brought back some very fond memories of the trip. It is an incredibly delightful town to visit, and as you can see from all these photos I have shared with you, there are many interesting sights to see.

As mentioned in a previous post, I currently have all the digital artworks in these galleries at 40% off my usual prices, and will leave them on discount until Sunday, September 13th. Keep in mind that if you order before midnight tomorrow (U.S. Pacific time), Imagekind is currently running a free shipping offer. (See this post for details). Also don't forget that anyone who purchases one or more prints of any of the works in the Alamos collection will receive a free DVD of all the videos associated with the series.

Cool Granny Has Taken Up Flying — The Little Old Lady Collection Grows Again

Cool Granny in Her Biplane — © John Corney 2026 Our cool granny is back, and she has done something the family has been quietly worried about for a few months now. She has taken up flying. A Brief Recap for New Readers If you're new to the series: she first appeared in a beautifully kept yellow Austin A35 on the corner of Queen Street and K Road in Auckland , waving cheerfully out the driver's window as she went past. That piece was, in its quiet way, a tribute to my own mother, who in her fifties bought her own motor scooter in Whanganui and never looked back — and to every older woman who has ever decided it was finally her turn. Then she showed up in a pink-and-yellow flame-painted monster truck, waving out the driver's window in exactly the same spirit, but with rather larger tyres. Same silver hair, same coral scarf, same oversized sunglasses. Same little red heart pa...

Faces of Pasifika 2007 — A Day at Auckland's Pacific Festival

The 15th anniversary Pasifika Festival poster — a collage of the Pacific cultures the festival celebrates. On Saturday 10 March 2007, I spent the day at the Pasifika Festival at Western Springs Park in Auckland. It was the festival's 15th year — an annual celebration of Pacific Island cultures that has been part of Auckland's calendar since 1993, and which typically draws crowds of well over 100,000 across the day. Nine Pacific villages are traditionally represented — Samoa, Tonga, the Cook Islands, Niue, Fiji, Tuvalu, Tokelau, Kiribati and Tahiti — with music, dance, food, arts, and craft from each community sharing the same park for the day. I usually visit New Zealand earlier in February, but in 2007 I was there in March and it was the first — and, to date, only — time I've been able to attend Pasifika. I hope to make it back one of these years. But I came away from that single visit with the str...
