Street Photography (Color)
Urban Oasis
An oasis I get to more frequently than any other portion of Mexico City since I made it my new home.
Sombra (Shadow)
Seen downtown, Mexico City, this Sunday. It's pretty much when I get to shoot besides a few moments of escape during the week.
Where’s…
From the last Mexico game of the World Cup 2010 in South Africa. The city of Mexico setup big screens for the people to come whatch the whole series of games out in the open at Mexico City's municpal square --Zocalo.
Morning Reprieve
Totally intrigued with this habit of taking breaks in the most undesirable of places.
Warrior
Went to the gathering downtown this Sunday for the Mexico vs. Argentina match. Here's a little I'm almost certain took with stride Mexico's crash out of the 2010 World Cup.
Place & Tradition
Feeling a bit down because the lack of rest and time to dedicate to the people and and things that mean most to me. Here is a little something from a breather on Sunday.
Pass the Smoke
By now some of you who have followed this blog now realize I enjoy being around "limpias". Here's another from the Zocalo, downtown - Mexico City.
Old Train
On the way back from Polanco, Mexico City.
Ride
Drive by shooting, which I don't recommend and involves more luck than anything else.
Suba Ud.
Seen on Moneda, Centro Historico -- Mexico City
Love and Art
A photo of a young couple --Nestor and Carolina-- expressing their love for each other. They immediately got my attention sitting under a public photography exhibit at the Atrio of San Francisco. I asked if I could photograph and to continue as they were.
The Observer
Another from the archives; this one from way back in 2006. It was shot at the Zocalo in Centro Historico (downtown), Mexico City. The guy in the chair is looking towards the Palacio Nacional which is the equivalent to that of the White House in the United States. The Centro Historico is also my shooting area of choice.
Mariachi Market Place
Mariachi stand across Eje Central Lazaro Cardenas offering their musical services.
¿Sandra, Quieres Ser Mi Novia? (Sandra, Do You Want To Be My Girl?)
Seen in Centro Historico, Mexico City.
Commanding Attention
A teen and his friends walking in my direction as I waited for my wife and son buying refreshments at a nearby stand. Saw this guy with the big glasses and just knew he was not going get into a fit about being photographed. He gave me a thumbs up of approval while his friends laughed and they disappeared into the usual Mexico City crowd that fills Chapultepec park on Sunday afternoons.
NOW!
Seen on Avenida Juarez - Centro Historico, Mexico City
Mariachi Blues
Seen on Eje Central Lazaro Cardenas - Centro Historico, Mexico City. I struggled with this one a bit, so I posted a black and white version on my Flickr stream here http://www.flickr.com/photos/xochipilli/4311214426/.
Girls and a Beetle
Seen in Taxco, Guerrero - Mexico.

El Callejón de los Pensadores (The Alleyway of the Thinkers)

El Mañana Que Nunca Llego (The Tomorrow That Never Came)
Going through my HD I found this one from last year. Had asked if I could take his photo and he gladly agreed asking if it would be published in some newspaper or magazine. We listened as he discussed his past and present, but I couldn't help think about what his future might had been if opportunity and chance had dealt him a different set of cards. Then again, who am I to judge such matters?
