¿Qué me gusta de Oaxaca? o mejor dicho, ¿por qué me gusta y disfruto tanto Oaxaca?. Porque esta es una ciudad viva, activa y de gente amable y sonriente que siempre orgullosa de sus orígenes, de fiestas y tradiciones; en la capital, aún siendo pequeña (y algunos pensarán que por lo mismo es aburrida), siempre hay algo sucediendo, siempre hay algún motivo para celebrar y a la gente le gusta hacerlo en grande, celebrar con música de la banda en vivo que nunca debe faltar, menos la comida y el mezcal que siempre estarán presente desde bodas, cumpleaños, calendas y convites, la gente se alista para celebrar con orgullo y lucir con entusiasmo sus trajes típicos.
Desde hace 4 años hago fotografía documental de estas celebraciones y he constatado la hospitalidad, orgullo, fervor y fe de la gente de Oaxaca que festeja sus tradiciones y la vida.

What do I like about Oaxaca? or better said, why do I love and enjoy Oaxaca so much?. This is a vivid and active city with kind and always smilling people, people that feels proud of their heritage, feast and traditions, even that it's a small city (and some might think it's borring place because of that), there's always something happening here, there's always an excuse to celebrate and people likes to do it big, with live band music, mezcal and food, it can be at weddings, birthdays, annual feast, processions and so on. It's common that they would like to look the best they can wearing proudly their traditional costumes.
Since four years I've been photographing all this kind of festivities and witness that hospitality, fervor and feith of how oaxacan people celebreate their traditions and life itself.
