But I hate photographing it. I was born in Mexico City, I love it, it is my favorite city (so far), but when it comes to pictures, it just doesn’t love me back. I’ve been going out and about to take photographs for years, trying to illustrate what I see and love so much about it, and I just can’t seem to get it right. I think what makes this city so amazing is the people, and I am scared of people, literally terrified… maybe I just need to get drunk before I go out on the streets.
If you would like to see the work of my favorite Mexico City photographer, who is obviously not scared of people, check out Pablo Ortiz Monasterio’s ¨Last City¨ here (skip the intro).
