Guerrero Street

Yesterday many streets were closed and so I had to get off the bus in a place not recommended to find myself, especially with a camera.

No way I put the camera in my bag. Ok, I'm in calle niños heroes, crossing the hoods called Doctores and Guerrero, I am careful but I don’t miss the opportunity to take pictures.

Every time I find myself in a barrio that I don't know and that I recognize is not a safe place, my pace is quick, but without fear I advance. I know that by showing fear I would make a mistake by communicating with my body language and attracting the attention of some malicious person.

Yesterday I was there and this is a photograph that I made inside the Guerrero barrio.
