Chiapa de Corzo (regione del Chapas). - - - In molte zone del Messico, ed in particolare nel Chapas, alcuni abitanti sono molto fedeli alle loro usanze e sono soliti indossare con orgoglio i loro costumi tradizionali. Ho seguito a lungo con lo sguardo e con l'obiettivo questa bellissima coppia (presumo mamma e figlia) e sono felice di aver colto questo scambio affettuoso tra di loro. In seguito mi sono avvicinata e, complimentandomi per la bellezza dei loro colorati indumenti, sono riuscita a far sì che la bimba mi concedesse volontariamente di fotografarla. Alla fine si è divertita un sacco a fare da modella ed è stato bello ridere assieme a lei. In effetti, i messicani non amano affatto farsi fotografare dai turisti e, in molti casi, ciò è associato al fatto che unitamente alla religione cattolica, diffusa e spesso purtroppo imposta dai conquistadores e dagli ordini religiosi che li seguirono, persiste molto forte la credenza animista. Questo sincretismo religioso e culturale spesso si palesa in espressioni che a noi appaiono parossistiche ma che, personalmente, non ritengo vadano giudicate solo perché non rientranti nella nostra cultura. Di fatto, che ci si creda o no, per molte di queste persone, la fotografia (in particolare quella che "catturi gli occhi") ruba l'anima del soggetto ritratto. Per questa ragione, in molti casi, sono colpevole di aver "rubato" dei ritratti seppur io abbia cercato di farlo nel modo più discreto e meno invadente possibile.

This religious syncretism and cultural expressions that often manifests itself in paroxysmal but appear to us that, personally, I do not think be judged just because they do not fall in our culture.
I agree with you Michael, I think it is indeed an opportunity to understand what we, on the contrary, there have moved away and look with new eyes and enchanted diversity.
In the shooting spontaneous, colorful, joyful you again, I see a beautiful complicity!
Very good, as always! ;-)
Kisses Kisses!

Thanks Catherine for leaving this nice comment on my photo:-P
It was a really beautiful scene and the two were walking in a beautiful colonial square with a monumental fountain in the center which unfortunately I was not possible to include in the frame.
I'm happy ;-)

Hello Francis!
The naturalness of this time was really valuable both to live and to immortalize. When you have the reflex to the neck was more attentive to what surrounds us, and maybe you even more if the expressiveness of the people.
Since photographer a little 'more seriously:-D, I find details on which I dwell not previously ;-)
Thank you for your caring and nice comment! :-P
A warm greeting.
Michela
