If you are a regular here, you know the love I have for Cozumel and its people. The media, portraying the conflict of the border towns as the nature of Mexico as a whole, is doing an injustice to the residents of this small Caribbean island. Cozumel is a beautiful, quiet island. Its people are warm and welcoming. If you ever have the opportunity to visit, take it.
Tip: I have forgotten the photographer that I learned this from, but she said, “When making a portrait of someone, get to within a comfortable working distance, then cut that distance in half.” I applied that lesson in this image.

I would agree with your comments regarding Cozumel. Many people only stick to the tourist areas and never explore the back streets or venture out to meet the locals. Wonderful street portrait my friend!
Wow, thanks everyone! I really appreciate it.
