I’ve been shopping at flea markets and garage sales ever since I was a little boy. My grandma and mom would take me to almost every local antique fair looking for treasures. We would always notice that the sellers at the markets were oftentimes just as interesting as the objects themselves. Every time I travel somewhere new, the first thing I look for is a local market to scout for people to photograph. On Sunday my mom and I went to La Lagunilla Market in Mexico City where we found this wonderful gentleman. I’ll be sharing behind the scenes from our trip on my Instagram HERE.

My mom is my greatest scout! She noticed this gentleman having a coffee in a cafe in Centro Historic. We waited patiently outside for him to finish and were able to grab a quick snap before heading to The Ballet Folklorico.
