This photograph was taken in Oaxaca's main square at midday.  Lunch at Panchita's was still an hour or two away and stopping in the square to have a drink, I took this picture when the camera was on the table.  I had no idea what it was seeing.
“The intentionally limited details in my work depend on the viewer to verify a greater or comparative experience from the fragment.  Inevitably, even the most trivial sighting cannot help standing as a symbol when extracted from the whole." –Artist statement
