[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I liked this scene in the heart of Mexico City in the Zucolo. There are many green beetle taxis around the city but this one caught my attention. I think for me it captured what I think is a quite common ethos amongst the taxi drivers and those of many other disciplines around the city. The car appears to have some cardboard supporting part of the bumper at the front and yet the chrome hub very well polished and immaculate. This is one driver who appears to have a quite pride in his cab.

Hi Chris,
I like your shot, the green beatle stands out real fine. Cropping-wise (?) I think it's a shame you cut a bit out from the bumper and over the head of the driver as well. besides i kinda wish there was a bokeh here to blur things out in the background. Still it's a good idea.
