Mexico 2010
Early this month Sam (she just tore her MCL, so go give her some love) and I headed to Cancun for a week to celebrate her graduation. Planes, layovers in Mexico City, subways, street food, street photography, and gaping mouths at my red hair were definite themes of the journey. Cancun itself was one of the least inspiring places I’ve ever been for photography. Watching overweight white people enjoy their all-inclusive resort getaways while fighting for control of the poolside seating doesn’t really compel one to pick up the camera.
What you see below are photos from the attempts Sam and I made to get some of the real Mexico. I’m pleased to say that if you’re willing to ignore what the tourist sites say and have a little balls, the real Mexico is marvelous. Photographs begin in Mexico City before moving to local heavy areas of Cancun and finishing at Chichen Itza.
