35 years of photojournalism
If you have interest in Mexico and want to see a wonderful collection of journalistic photographs, log onto: http://www.proceso.com.mx/35/
This is an online compilation of 35 years of photos published in "Proceso", which is a Mexican news magazine.
There are several categories of photos, including politics, natural disasters, religion, social movements, narco, and culture.
I've had one foot in Mexico for about the past 35 years, and I found it a poignant walk down Memory Lane. Maybe some of you will also.

If you look at (in, on?) the page 148, you will see a picture of my avatar, Regino Burrón, and a photo of his creator, the cartoonist Don Gabriel Vargas.
Thank you for sharing this Patti. I am ashamed to say that although I know some of the older history of Mexico, I am not so aware of recent history (the past fifty-sixty years or so.). It seems a strange phenomenon (or maybe it's just me), but U.S. schools don't seem to focus much on the history and/or current events of countries that border ours. I feel as if I know more about what is going on in Europe and the Middle East. I really want to make an effort to understand what is going on with our neighbors to the north and south, Canada and Mexico.
Some of the pictures were difficult to take. There was one photo of the contents of a trash barrel that I had to turn away from. It truly does speak to the human condition and how callus some have become to the sanctity of human life.
