Patzcuaro, Michoacan
In assembling these recent photographs of Patzcuaro in the state of Michoacan, Mexico, I wished to focus on two themes. The first is of a particular street I fell in love with while exploring the town in the early morning; the second, a few black and white portraits.
Below are some of the people I came across, young and old, in the town and in the countryside:
