Garbage Man on Cafetales
Seen on Cafetales Ave. --Del. Coyoacan-- on my way to work one morning.
Woman and Rain
Seen on a very, very rainy afternoon in Coyoacán, Mexico City.
Spooked
A friend's pet who was very much afraid of me as I approached with the lens. The dog had been abused by prior owners --monsters-- that did not understand the difference between stewardship of life and lording over it; he's in very good hands now.
U.S.A. South of the Border
American flag seen on a transportation bus.
Against the stream
Nothing usual about the amount of rain this year. Sadly, little is done to capture it and put it to good use in a region of the country that's suffering from an unrelenting depletion of the precious stuff.
Dark night of the soul…
...well, at leat a dark night of rain, and more rain.
Collection, not just garbage…
The skull is used as a container by the garbage guys. They take your garbage; you drop some pesitos in honor of them doing so.
Carnal
Urban art in Coyoacán, Mexico city.
More, and more rain…
The rain continues. Haven't seen as rainy a season as the one we are experiencing now. I could swear it's been weeks since I've experienced a full day of sunshine.
Play – Coyoacán – México City
For me, places are defined by the people that inhabit them, not the other way around.
Girls
Seen in Coyoacán, México City.
Dentista
At the "Centro de Coyoacán", Mexico City.
Ride
Drive by shooting, which I don't recommend and involves more luck than anything else.
Carnal!!!
I was a graffiti buff in the early 80s in New York and was part of a small crew until a close call with the law. In Puerto Rico --in 84-- I was blamed for starting a firestorm in an urban art I look back on and feel I sucked very much at. My views about it have matured with feelings about where it belongs and does not, but I enjoy seeing the forms into which it has evolved in recent decades. Here is a taste of what you can find in Mexico City. This one was seen in Coyoacán.
Window – Coyoacán, Mexico City
Spent a few hours in the bohemian section of the city called Coyoacán. It's only ten minutes from where I live and enjoy taking Sunday breaks in what Hernando de Cortez once wanted to crown the capital of New Spain.
Street Musicians (Father and son)

Light, Arches, Clouds, & Shadows
I simply enjoyed the mix of light, clouds, and shadows. Lens set at 15mm on a mini tripod. Wish I had composed better, though.
Voy A Explotar (I am going to explode)…and other Mexican tales
Expression of political and social issues through urban art of this nature is not uncommon in Mexico.
