My wife and I decided to spend the Holidays on a road trip through Baja California. We have both been to Baja many times, but we went further south and ventured to places we had never been before.
The most surprising town was San Ignacio. If you didn’t pull off the Mexico 1 “Highway” to take a look, you would never even know the town was there. San Ignacio has a long history, dating back to the early 1700s and is home to a Jesuit Mission that was completed in 1786. The small town is full of old buildings, some of which are in use and some of which are crumbling. It was very surprising to find an old-world small town, just a little over a day’s drive from our home in San Diego.
I spent some time photographing old doors in San Ignacio, among other things. Some doors led to rooms that were completely open because of roofs that had fallen in; others led to businesses that are operating in centuries-old buildings.
