Caras de México

Posted on Monday, August 16

“Since I was a small child, every summer was marked by my family’s migration by car to spend a month in Mexico. The trip would begin at home in Chicago and go as far south as Mexico City. We would make multiple stops in different towns and cities to visit with our extended family. I started taking pictures in the early 1990′s and since have made several trips on my own. Caras de Mexico is a collection of portraits that I photographed during my travels. This is an ongoing project that I don’t plan to complete.” Joe Compean
