MEXICO, HOLY WEEK 2009
Click on individual images for details

Mexico has a special place in my heart. I was born and raised in Laredo, Texas  a border town that was, when I was growing up, about 95% Mexican Catholic. The Mexican culture was deeply entwined with that of Texas in Laredo and was an integral part of my daily life; I feel a close kinship with Mexico and her people. As a photographer, I am especially drawn to the colors that are everywhere in Mexico, bringing startling life to even the most mundane scene. This trip to Mexico  reinforced everything I have always loved about the country and the people. But it also revealed a side I had never experienced, the arcane and moving religious ceremonies and processions of Holy Week. These photos were taken in Taxco, Puebla, and Queretero.
