Description
I visited Merida because I had read about the old Spanish Colonial architecture and the easy access to the Mayan sites. So it surprises me a little to have this particular photo to show for my trip there, but I have always liked pictures of people moving through spaces that are defined by modern architecture.
So, when I spotted this covered walkway near the end of the Paseo de Montejo, I had to spend some time there appreciating the squares, the lines, the curving shapes. I loved how the shadows and light passed through the space. But ultimately, the image I wanted was people, to combine the modern with the human. So, in the old tradition of street photography, I composed my shot and waited. There were multiple attempts, but this particular shot of a group of young ladies passing through the scene remains my personal favorite.
