Omar Rodriguez-Lopez



Hace un par de meses estuve en Guadalajara trabajando en el libro sobre guitarristas mexicanos que estoy haciendo junto con Marco Cataño y por casualidad y gracias a Aldo Monterrubio pasamos por el estúdio de Omar Rodriguez-Lopez (Mars Volta) donde aproveche para hacerle un par de retratos (gracias a Omar y a Cesar Rosas de Universal por su colaboración).

El 28 de cada mes se hace una misa en nombre de San Judas Tadeo en la iglesia de San Hipolito (En el Centro Historico) en la Ciudad de México. En este día los devotos llevan al templo sus figuras e imagenes de este santo ( santo de los casos dificiles y desesperados) mostrando con orgullo su fe.

The 28th of each month there is a mass in Sain Jude Thadeus name in the San Hipolito Church (in Centro Historico) in México City. On this day the devotees take their Saint Jude's statues and images to the temple showing how proud of their faith they are.

Colombianos







Hace como un como año y medio estuve en Monterrey, México, haciendo unas fotos para el Sonidero Nacional, actual proyecto de Toy Selectah (ex control machete), estando con ellos conocí la cultura de los “colombianos”, jóvenes que gustan de la cumbia y el vallenato (ritmos provenientes de Colombia) a tal grado que han creado todo un movimiento al rededor de ella, desde una vestimenta hasta sus propio estilo de baile. A finales de diciembre del 2008 regrese a Monterrey esta vez a hacer unas fotos de “Volovan” para el arte de su disco que esta por salir, y ya estando allá aproveche un tiempo libre para ir al Cerro de la Campana (barrio donde hay muchos colombianos) para hacer unos retratos. Debido a que fui en domingo muchos de ellos estaban dormidos ya que el sábado todos salen a las calles con sus mejores ropas a bailar hasta tempranas horas del domingo. Espero poder regresar pronto específicamente a continuar con esta serie pero por lo pronto acá van algunos de los retratos de esta vez.

A year an a half ago i went to Monterrey, México to make somo photos for Toy Selectah’s (ex Control Machete) current project Sonidero Nacional, he introduced me to the COLOMBIANOS culture were young guys and gals listent to cumbia and vallenato music (music that comes from Colombia), they like it so much that they have created a whole movement around it, from a dress code to a unique dance style. I went back to Monterrey at the end of december (2008) to make the photos for Volovan’s (a from MYT) new record, during my free time i went to the Cerro de la Campana (neighborhood where a lot of colombianos live) to do some portraits, Since i went on a sunday a lot of the people where sleeping being the saturday night when they go out with their best outfits and dance until the morning comes. i hope a can go back soon to continue with this series in the mean while here are some of the portraits i did.
