Tijuana Visits

Here is an edit of my portraits of all the wonderful people whom I have visited and photographed for my La Frontera Project in Tijuana so far. I am still working on more photos, and I'll be in Tecate and Mexicali next week to continue working there. Ultimately I will cover the entire length of the US-Mexican border, but I need to return to New York first to seek funding for this project. (any ideas ??)
Thank you all who have let me take your picture ! Your support in Tijuana has blown me away, really.
And special thanks to Ava Ordorica, director of La Casa Del Tunel: Art Center (she hates being in pictures, see Nr 4). Ava, without your help this would have been very difficult to accomplish. If not impossible.
