Nezahualcoyotl

I spent this past week working with the ngo Project Luz teaching children from the community photography. It was an amazing experience to share the gift I love so much with such promising youth. It was a very busy week but I was able to make a few images when I was out with the kids roaming around the city with open eyes. Nothing too heavy, but here are a few singles fro my week. Today was the first day I had free since I arrived in Mexico City. It has been all work these past few weeks with the Foundry Workshop and then Project Luz. It was great getting to know so many great shooters and learn so much at the workshop and rewarding to see those kids big eyes light for photography up during project luz. Now it is time to fly free and do some work. I will be here in Mexico City for a while longer feeling out a project before heading down south to Oaxaca then onto Guatemala. When it rains it pours.....wet season in one of the most populated city's in world...got the mexico city blues in my stomach from all this fried street food.



A family I came across while roaming the streets


Men play cards near the city's center


A girl holds her hand out to stop trafic as she crosses a street with her mother


A colorful scene from a market


A women dances in a city park

Your work lends credence to the adage "ONE PICTURE IS WORTH ONE THOUSAND WORDS"
