Oaxaca, Mexico. A farmer in the Central Valley .This was the opening photograph from my NatGeo piece “Song of Oaxaca” and will be a part of an upcoming book by the same name. Oaxaca is magic, both the place and the people. One of my favorite places to photograph. There are 17 indigenous languages in Oaxaca state. I’ve been shooting off and on in Oaxaca for 20 years or so, mentored photo students in workshops, and will be going back again in the spring. Mexico in general has always drawn me in. I can never quite get enough. #oaxaca #mexico #velvia
