Photographer’s Note
Around the city of Zacatecas there are a lot of people asking you for some coins this kid right here wanted some coins from me i showed him couple of them but they weren't enough for him so i asked him if i can take a picture of him and he agreed so i took this picture of him and of course i gave him more money, his dad is the person behind him with the acordeon playing some music, his son recollects money from people.
Later at some restaurant he came to me and asked me for more money but and i said to him that i already gave him some and i have this tacos with me so i gave him one and then he left.
When i took this picture i realized that some of these kids never smile at the camera, they are kind of afraid or something or maybe he is telling me like "you take picture of me, and you give me money! and putting his cap in front of me"

Hi Alonso,
The desaturated colours match the documentary feeling of this shot. Grim, but human. I love Horatiu's remark about D&G!

Yet another the great one...
So little yet, so much in it...
His eyes, his hand with the cap and accordion behind...
Say no more, brother Alonso...
A quintessence of life of so many among us - the human race...
I put you in my 'watching list' bro...
You certainly deserve it...
George
