San Miguel, Little Hive of Industry

You might know San Miguel de Allende.  Conde Nast knows it.  Travel and Leisure Magazine knows it well.  It is a photo shoot mecca, the haunt of photographers, professionals who pay the rent through the lens of a camera.  Creative staff at Gentlemen's Quarterly, Elle and Vogue search it's streets for the perfect composition and then pray the light lasts.  What cool jobs they have.  They get paid for this?
