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.

Congratulations, Michael, not only for your report, but also for the discretion with which the hi achieved, which is a credit to your culture and your sensitivity.
Who, like me, studying the man, knows that no culture can be considered "better" than another, and each individual is always worth the utmost respect.

Salutissimi,

Adolfo

Dear Adolfo,
thank you very much for your nice comment on my photo, I'm glad you liked it. :-P
I fully agree with your thoughts about the respect that every culture, as distant to us, it is worth, I think is the only possible approach that really allows us to capitalize on diversity.
Thanks again and a warm greeting! ;-)

Hello Bruno!
Thank you for your positive comment and have also appreciated the caption:-P
I do not think I have caught a few foreground ... I took forever "stealthily":-D
Some children asked me for money to be photographed but I never accepted because I find that it is highly (and dramatically) negative for these children who are sent by their parents to ask for money to tourists and for this reason are not in school.
Other portraits will post them for sure, I hope you like them ;-)
Thank you and a salutone! :-)

excellent description, which I personally have seen at first hand, in many countries, I might add, that in the Cuban culture, specifically within the Santeria, people who embrace this religion / culture, in the first year, always dressed in white, and not may be photographed for the same reason ..
Great colors, very nice :-)

Hello Donatella!
Thank you for sharing your experience even for certain populations of what is meant by culture / animist religion that then, as essentially tell you, too, for those who observe it becomes a real way of life.
Thanks for appreciating my shot! :-P :-)
A dear greeting!
Michela

A simple gesture, resumed as if you did, assumes its real value, that of an act of love. There's so much need this in these times. Stunning image. Compliments. A greeting.
