When a Ford car becomes an excuse to talk about different things that are in my heart

2 days ago I made this photograph:

Ford car. Mexico City, 2022. Alex Coghe

The nature of my street photography is devoted to the dimension of reality. Of what I find in front of me, without constraints and stakes.

Living the street is living it. Seriously. And not how to pose to feel cooler.

Now you have this portrait of me:

Leica X2 in my hand, Leica t-shirt, 70s leather jacket, thief hat, corrosive smile.

I like photographers whose work is disturbing. Those who do just the homework leave me indifferent.

And so there was that reading of Nan Goldin's work on my YouTube channel. YouTube decided to remove it for nudity. Once again an example of how these liberals pose as open minded and instead are conservative bigots of the worst made. Among other things, lacking any ability to discern and interpret. Just like the medieval bigots.

Aside from the fact that there was no explicit nudity, this is it. In the perverse world of social networks, tools for controlling power.

I don't pay any social and I will not do it. I pay squarespace for my website where I am making content for myself. In a social I CHOOSE to share my content, so at the very least, it is the social network that has to pay me to generate content. Do you get it, mr. Elon Musk?

And before anyone gets excited: I attack Musk like everyone from Zuckemberg to Gates. They are the system, exactly that system that is leading us to a war, manipulating the mass, at first frightening it and then commanding it by marrying causes and waving flags (the first wall that exists between peoples) so yes, all those who carry flags even only in their bio on a social network are just poor assholes.

Every war was first fed by massive doses of propaganda, only in this way is the consent to do something so horrendous. When the only war to be waged is against the elite who brought us this far. We must remove these failures who continue to have blood on their hands. I like it. I like that I can write this because this is my social, where I am proposing content without third parts involved.

On another speech, guys, I am already working for next year workshops and expeditions in order to give something unique to those assisting my experiences in Mexico.

Currently I am looking for an art gallery in Oaxaca, Puebla and Mexico City interested to talk about a project.
