All of my dates with Juárez here. 


I tapped my toes to the tunes of the dancers in the zoot suits of the 1940s, pachucos.

A continuation of my visit to the Museum of the Revolution on the Border

The museum devotes a room to photographers, both professional and amateur. When I use the word "amateur," I don't mean trifling; I mean a person who is serious about their photography, but does not derive their livelihood from it.

I like that the museum curators included a photojournalist who was a woman.

A very young photographer also received recognition:

When you look at the bent heads of the photographers, their focus intent on a screen below them, does it remind you of any behavior in our current times?
