I see things. And Street Photography is the result.

Yesterday I went downtown for a coverage and something unexpected came out.

Corner. Mexico City Street Photography. Alex Coghe 2022

Yesterday Mexico City and boxing entered the Guinness Book of Records. By beating the city of Moscow previous holder of the special title, With a total of 14 mil 299 assistants the CDMX exceeded the established figure of biggest boxing class in the world, on Zocalo the main square of the city.

My idea was that I wanted to document through photography and video. My mistake was that there would be rings and the event would take place all day and so when I arrived it was practically all over. But it wasn't going to be anything very interesting compared to my idea either. The initiative was certainly positive in bringing people closer to the world of sport and in particular that of boxing but, with all due respect, it felt more like a zumba event than boxing, with people who have nothing to do with boxing. So even though there were still a lot of people in the square I decided not to even take a picture and I started taking street photos.

And it's the photo you see above that makes sense to me. There is a good dynamics of a street corner where people converge from different sides and going in various directions. A little scene unfolded in 1 second and the moment after was different and not so interesting. Street Photography is that. I pointed my Canon, always ready, and we have a piece of street, a simple yet exemplary photo of the magic that street photography can give.
