"Get your knives sharpened on the spot." One of the special services to be found on the streets of Oaxaca. For some reason, and maybe it's the brutal heat, but this shot makes me think of Sisyphus... just keep pushing and pushing. And, as always, the street art tells many stories. No knives here, but bottles.
And where else could a simple picture of corn, maiz, which was developed in the Mitla region 10,00 years ago, elicit so much pride and respect.
This saxophonist appears regularly in different guises. Wonderful stencil work.
The juxtaposition of these three images across from Santo Domingo is
good food for thought. Tourists love taking photos with the figures
from Tehuantepec, but the locals are not quite so enamored with them. You can see how they're are feeling by the scowls on their faces.
And of course, someone is always watching.
