Sometimes I wonder if Mexicans aren't a tad paranoid in the security department...YES, I know that I live in a dangerous city, but some precautions seem a little over the top. Having a balcony and never wandering out to take the sun?? Barring all of the windows, even when you live on the third or fourth floor?? The following is one of the more common security measures taken by Hispanics, even in the U.S. I, for one, like to inspect the colors of the glass chosen to protect the houses that line the street corners and maybe, if you're lucky, the sun will strike just right, creating a lovely rainbow...
defeño/a - n. a person from México D.F. (Mexico City). How many clicks does it take to become a true defeño? Here I use my lens to contemplate all that my new volatile city of contrasts has to offer. ¡ VIVA MÉXICO !

brotherly love
The arrival of a new baby is such a happy event and now that I'm in México, I'm free to celebrate these moments with the family I didn't have nearby as a child. My cousin awaits the birth of her third child, this time a girl!!! Ian, the eldest, is giddy at the thought of having a baby sister and is especially affectionate with his mom's tummy =) Watching him, it's easy to recall my excitement as I waited for my own little sister to join our family so many years ago...
