Reflection:
The subject for my photo essay was a Mexican village I drove past on my way back from some ruins. I chose to do this because it surprised and intrigued me that there are people living in areas like this. It is a controversal topic because some believe that we should help these people to develop a 'better' living style, yet others think that there is nothing wrong with the way they live because it is their culture. They have always lived like that and they may not want to change! The lighting was bright sunlight as it was midday and there were no clouds. I took these shots right out of my window and it was difficult because we were moving. There are some shadows on the buildings because it was around 3 and the sun was not in the very middle of the sky.
