Postcards from el Pueblo Magico

The vibrancy of the blues, whites and beiges and the soft grains brings a a sense of European nostalgia. Once a colonial town, Taxco was once known for mining silver, with its legacy of hosting copious amounts of silver for jewellery and silverware still evident when you go to visit today. It’s charm is very evident as you walk along the cobbled streets, every turning capturing my eyes.

Street and cityscape photography was my introduction to photography, and still remains the one style that I find so much joy doing. I love the look of building architecture, the way houses are designed. You can tell the history of a place by its aesthetics. Or can you? By one glance I would have thought this was somewhere in Spain, until I realised that I’m as physically far away from Europe as the residents and their ancestors have been for the last 250 plus years.
