Mexico in Black and White and Color

For my first trip to Mexico, in 1977, I brought 50 rolls of black and white film and 5 rolls of color. I'm a documentary photographer and prefer black and white for my work. By my third trip, I was bringing 100 rolls of each. During that trip, I started to learn how to take photographs of the amazing colors and textures in Mexico and eventually even photographed people in color. My primary work in Mexico is documenting life in el campo where people are literally struggling to survive. But it would be a mistake to close my eyes to the beauty that exists alongside the poverty.
