The things you can find in Mexico…
In this sequence that I shot yesterday in Mexico City Downtown all the surreal that can be found here is reflected.
Identification of a culture, as I intend to do street photography, as a documentation of the human condition. There are few elements: the microbus, here called pesero, the main subject the virgin, the balloons that surround it, the men who let her in.
5 photos taken in a few moments that allowed me to present a small story.
