There I was in Mexico City, having a great time on my way back to the Palacio De Bellas Artes for the Cartier-Bresson exhibition.
When I got there, I was surprised to be allowed to photograph inside the show. I spent hours there, pouring over some three hundred of the works of this master of street photography who was also a leader in photo journalism. And a film maker. Altogether a thrilling, satisfying and educational showing.
An added pleasure was seeing a large and diverse crowd so deeply involved.
Afterward, I had strolled through Chinatown
and the Plaza San Juan, with its brightly colored playground filled with laughing, squealing children, it’s splashing, overflowing fountain,
Past the locksmith, a real Peter O’Toole look-alike,
And on to El Mercado de San Juan de Pugibet.

Fantastic adventures John and the photos, as always are so great.
Hurray, a vote for the photos! Thanks, Gena.
Your ways of finding and sharing the past are amazing. Your showing arrangements of events found in time and recording the events, tells me we have a lot more to learn about the Earth we live on.
Thanks Deezes. The more I learn, the more there is to learn. That’s what keeps me going.
