The work in this series results from a cumulative total of six months spent photographing for this project in Mexico, visiting annually since 1983, to a different large city each year, and walking an estimated 900 miles to date through the streets of Mexican cities, looking for images. While in Mexico, I often walk ten or more miles daily, letting my subconscious influence where and when I photograph. The images and scenes that I capture are often mysterious, simple yet enigmatic. I look for the magical scene that can be discovered by chance. As I speak Spanish, I can interact with the Mexican people without hindrance.
