at 55mm, 1/1600 f/7.1, ISO 640, hand held. San Cristobal de las Casas, Mexico.

In qualsiasi luogo ci si trovi e si decida di addentrarsi in un mercato, nel momento stesso in cui si inizia a girovagare tra le bancarelle credo che ci si addentri anche nella cultura, nelle abitudini, nei "colori" e naturalmente nei sapori del Paese che lo ospita. Questa almeno è l'esperienza che ho maturato nel mio fortunato viaggiare e visitare mercati di molti luoghi del Mondo e, sia che si trattasse di continenti lontani o Paesi a noi vicini per cultura, ho sempre colto delle peculiarità uniche. Naturalmente non poteva essere diverso per il mercato, anzi i mercati (quello artigianale che offre una delle migliori produzioni artigianali del Messico di tessuti, ricami e ceramica e quello "generale") di San Cristobal de las Casas. Questa bellissima cittadina coloniale dalle variopinte strade a sali-scendi, situata tra le montagne della Sierra Madre a 2.100 m s.l.m., fu una delle prime cittadine nordamericane fondata dagli spagnoli e si può considerare, a ragion veduta, la capitale culturale del Chapas. La abitano diverse etnie indigene dirette discendenti dei maya ed in particolare quella denominata dei tzotzil (uno scioglilingua la sua pronuncia!) e quella dei tzeltal che vivono nei pueblos degli altipiani che circondano San Cristobal e che conservano, a parte le loro antiche tradizioni e i correlati costumi locali, una loro propria lingua e che spesso, e ne ho avuta diretta conferma, non conoscono assolutamente lo spagnolo. L'aspetto dell'abbigliamento che si coglie immediatamente è la gonna di lana pelosa (non saprei come altro definirla...) indossata dalle donne che la accompagnano con sgargianti bluse ed una stola che serve da copricapo, da "parasole" e passata tipo a tracolla da sorta di... port-enfant. Il Messico è popolato da una miriade di splendidi bimbi e vi assicuro che durante la mia permanenza messicana, non ne ho mai sentito piangere uno. Dicono che sia perché sin da piccoli, essendo sempre a contatto con il corpo della mamma, crescono senza subire bruschi distacchi dalla sua vicinanza. Che sia vero o no, credo che più di qualche mamma straniera abbia fatto qualche riflessione in merito. Tornando alla gonna in lana (che si traduce con un poncho per gli uomini) mi hanno spiegato che le protegge dal freddo percepito nella stagione più rigida e (dicono!) dal caldo in quella più torrida. Ecco dunque alcune foto che vogliono raccontarvi di questi sapori, usi, costumi, colori e tradizioni "rubate" al mercato e uso questo termine non a caso, rammentando ciò che ho avuto modo di evidenziare in precedenti didascalie a corredo di altri miei scatti. Queste popolazioni assolutamente non vogliono essere fotografate e ciò è direttamente collegato alla loro religione/cultura animista. Ho fatto dunque ciò che ho potuto cercando sempre di essere il più discreta possibile ma a volte non ci sono riuscita (anche perché stretta nelle viuzze del mercato spesso non potevo scattare a distanza, anzi ero piuttosto braccata da chi mi precedeva e seguiva) e mi è spiaciuto vedere come i soggetti dei miei scatti si coprivano il viso lanciandomi improperi che non ho compreso. Meglio così, mi sarei sentita ancor maggiormente colpevole di quanto non mi sentissi già. Tutto ciò non vuol essere una "captatio benevolentiae"; le critiche sono sempre assolutamente bene accette. ;) Benvenuti dunque tra le strade di San Cristobal de las Casas!!! #FuocoSelettivo

Lully Hello! :-)
The fruit, and not only that, it was a wonder and as you can see, her beauty is emphasized (as well as other goods) that have the ability to place it and, I might add, to compose it.
One thing I think has seen it too in India. ;-)
They are good at marketing! :-D
Thank you for your positive comment!
An affectionate greeting
Michela

I admire those with few words, like you, know in a comment so incisive (and, in this case, satisfying for me:-P) one click.

I was finally able to enjoy the gallery Mexican :-) and I must say that you brought back with you very well one thing I almost never as I can catch in my travels: the atmosphere 8-)

all the shots are very "Mexican":-D and convey a good idea of ??where it was decided to spend some of our time :-)

this is what struck me the most because I associate Mexico to "manual" and the color :-) but also the telenovela and the (too :-() are remarkable young rose-seller ;-)

congratulations for reportage and travel into one of the most fascinating destinations that there are overseas :-)

You must know that I searched my shots a picture of chillies that we can devote given your pre-departure advice, as you know, I followed ... involontariamentewow! :-D
I had found one but it is very bad ....! It remained one of the onions you see just above, but I did not seem to dedicate such a cute vegetable and therefore apologize if I can not keep my promise to the faith :-(
I hope that after what I have said is not ritratterai your beautiful comment because I was really pleased to read you!

“ I have to say that you brought back with you a very good thing for example I almost never seem to capture in my travels: the atmosphere „

Thank you and ... I do not believe you! You know the atmosphere of the riportare so intense and so I hope you will follow my "footsteps" and soon you too will soon bring a splendid testimony of this land, as you say, is undoubtedly
