Locations in San Diego - Tijuana
Has any members shot in the Tijuana area ? I will be down in the San Diego area June 10th through the 17th and wanted to shoot south of the boarder. Looking for something like an old desserted town or a town like you would see in the movie Desperado. May 28 06 08:39 am Link you dont want to shoot in tj.

There are also a couple of blow holes and beautiful bays nearby. Hope it helps... May 28 06 09:47 am Link Thanks neighbor ( Castro Valley )! I was going to go that direction and was hoping to find a rustic old town to shoot in. Searched MM for models but none really in the area. Recognize the train station on Mission and the tracks in Sunol ! May 28 06 12:48 pm Link Yes, get auto insurance!! Just forget Tijuana unless you're doing a photojournalism piece on grime. You might consider the border town of Tecate, a little further east. Much smaller and easier to deal with. Lots of good stuff nearby and a heck of alot less chaos and traffic. The main road that leads west out of town towards Tijuana would be better to explore. Also, the border wait coming back across is MUCH shorter but still avoid it on a Sunday. There's actually a really cute little town square just a few blocks after you cross the border. Do you have any experience in Mexico? It's great, but different. Keep an eye on your gear but at the same time, stickers and posters will make you more friends than you can handle. Also, if you're going to do any risque stuff, just be real careful. (I only mention this after looking at your port.) Very Catholic and if someone calls the cops, . . . well, it ain't like up here.
