No Sunday is complete without voting and BMX tricks

Finally the day has come when small percent of the people in Mexico decide who are the people who will make decisions for them. I was up to my ears of all the election advertising and noise pollution that could be seen and heard on the streets all over Mexico. Tomorrow the ads will be removed and world is once again a more beautiful place to live in.

Today I decided to go and take some photos of the elections but I guess I wasn’t thinking well ahead since of course I needed a permission to take photos of people voting. After several hours of walking pointlessly around the city I saw our university’s office building and on the outside entrance of it there was a voting place. I was wearing my, almost clean, white University shirt. That should give me a small change… I walked straight to the voting place, sat down to a corner and started waiting. After a while I lifted my camera right in front of the officials and started taking photos while still sitting. 10-15 minutes later I had about 60 photos and I decided to move to phase 2. I stood up and changed my position. After 4 shots a lady, that had seen me the whole time, came to ask if I had a permission to take photos. Of course I didn’t so I apologized and walked away.

After that I decided to go home and on the way took some more photos of people on the street. Nothing special but just playing around with camera and point of view and waiting for the right moment.
