This month has been an amazing one for my photography. I currently have four images up at the gallery in the Mexican Folk Art Store, Casita del Pueblo in Uptown Whittier. The show is titled, "Mujeres Collective Art Show" with work by some amazing local artists. Most of the work that is displayed are paintings and I was fortunate enough to be one of only two photographers in the show. I chose four images that I shot down in Maneadero, Mexico while on a missions trip with our church group, Pouring Out Hope. There are three images from the most recent trip in April and one from a trip taken in March of last year. These images are of the women and female children of a migrant village in Maneadero. I had the wonderful opportunity to chat with some of these women and find out how they came to live in this village and they told me wonderful stories of their home state Oaxaca. These images represent the beauty and spirit of these amazing women and children. The show will run from May 10th to the first week in June.
