About the teacher: Cisco's work spans many facets of the photography world, from art to commercial. After earning his BA from the UCLA School of Motion Picture & TV, he opened his Los Angeles studio and quickly gained an excellent reputation for celebrity portraits and album covers.

He began focusing on art photography in 1978 when, one late and hazy night in his studio, he accidentally discovered the technique now known as PolaGeneral Contact Pageroid Transfer. Cisco subsequently explored this new realm with grants from The Polaroid Corporation. His work from this period now hangs in The San Francisco Museum of Contemporary Art, The New Orleans Museum of Art, and the Polaroid National and International Collections. Cisco's return to commercial photography coincided with a move from Los Angeles to New Orleans in 1984. Clients, including Freeport MacMoRan and Tulane University, occasionally lure Cisco back to the States for special projects.

San Cristóbal is in the highlands of Chiapas, Mexico's southernmost state. Few places on earth rival the region for pure dramatic beauty. San Cristóbal itself offers myriad wonders for the photographer. For centuries, this has been the place where indigenous traditions meet Spanish colonial culture. Visually the mixture is astounding, with the bright notes of traditional indigenous aesthetic contrasting delightfully with the more staid yet elegant influence of Europe.
