In the Mexican city of Monterrey, where the over development of newly built suburbs affect peoples daily lives and customs, there is a large bridge spanning Highway 85. On that bridge Alejandro Cartagena pointed his camera down at the morning traffic. He was seeking and peeking into the backs of open trucks, where construction workers often pile together on their way to earn a living. Like commuters everywhere, they sleep, eat, read and talk on their way to work. Often they look up, and maybe they notice someone taking their picture.

So I’ve noticed a swift uprising from the sports sneaker. No, Not the stylish sneaker (Isabel High tops) not the trendy sneaker (Converse) but the actual gym wear - going for a run around the park- sneaker… Think Nike, Adidas, neon colours, retro branding and uber comfort and you’re half way…

Alcohólica, lesbiana y cantora, Chavela Vargas es una leyenda viviente que hoy cumple 93 años.
Nació en Costa Rica el 17 de abril de 1919 y decidió vivir y morir en México.
Apenas hace 48 horas, en el Palacio de Bellas Artes, Chavela cantó y emocionó a los presentes. A su lado, Martirio y Eugenia León la miraban con admiración.
Isabel Vargas Lizano se tomó todo el tequila de México y todavía vive para contarlo.Rest in Power
