When it is right to rejoice

Written By Alex Coghe

No need for an award or many likes. When a photo is good, a photographer knows it.

Mexico City, 2023. Alex Coghe

I just took this photo a few hours ago, in downtown.

And no, I just couldn't wait long before posting it. It is a keepr, a fuckin’ keeper, guys. It's simple, exactly how it came. And yes, I am very happy for this one. This is exactly what street photography is: an unexpected moment without that you have a lot of time to prepare yourself, for this you must always be ready.

This is the magic of street photography that in a moment gives you something that has timeless content. There is nothing more to say. I have the first really good photo for this year.
