Destination: Mexico. Mission: photograph a resort many moons ago. Walking through the airport toting ten bags of equipment, our team (John Wong and myself) met up with the infamous Mexican stop light. Push the button and light turns green...you are free to go. Push button and light turns red....pull over for the big search.
It was not my lucky day....RED......
Before I knew it, we were being whisked away to a back room where they were going to check our papers and work visas. "What?...we need work visas?" "Yes senor...without one you must return to the States on the next plane." One hour later and five crisp $100 bills pretty much gave us the green light and work visas that we needed to get this shot done.
I say well worth it, this is amazing. Chris Brown sent me your way and I'm glad he did.
