While Chinatown is getting ready

Written By Alex Coghe

This is the year of the tiger, guys. And the smallest Chinatown in the world that is in Mexico City is preparing for the new Chinese year. It is a place where I photograph a lot also in common days.

And the photo that I propose to you today shows a funny moment. I like to see how people occupy public spaces. I observe them and sometimes I photograph them, especially if I find a disposition or in any case a dynamic. Even if there are no relationships between the subjects included in the frame, the combinations that are generated can be functional to the image.
