HISTORIC CENTER


Plaza Tolsa, El Caballito "little horse"

I haven't been to Paris or any European country yet, but in Mexico City I felt many of the times that I was somewhere in Paris. The architecture, the mimes and the violin players in the Historic Center were an interesting combination with the rest of the indigenous culture.


One of my favorite time of the day to photograph the city was during the golden hour.

Llevo el periodismo en la sangre

Ignacio Vazquez Gastelum

Died in January 1986

Ignacio Vasquez, my dad’s father, used to be a journalist in Mexico. My grandmother handed me a brief case with his memories and pieces of writing. Now, I know that i have a little bit of my grandfather; I wish I could have met him.

I found a journal where he talks about his childhood in the Mexican Revolution in 1910-1920. He explains the struggles to survive the war and poverty, also the loss of his older brother who died in battle.
