 Another chapter of the Travel to Oaxaca: the work of hands.
The little entrepreneurial business of whatever one can make and believes that would have some selling value.
A poverty clad in color and dignity.

None of these snapshots has been processed to increase saturation - perhaps some reduction of vividness would make things more believable but why would I change what's there?
It's my relentless thought that all that we encounter in that part of Mexico was spewed by the earth after an terrible earthquake or a volcano or both. We see the blazing fire and the ashes, the chiseled, grave physiognomies with eyes looking inside to something that we cannot envision.

Two artificial dragons begin this essay. All the vividness that follows is thus dragon's breath (or peacock feathers).

Terrific street photography, great example of when color works in photography, and I love the framing device of the first and last photos.

Sorry, I'm not much for "constructive criticism." If something works, don't fix it.
