Modern mexico embracing tradition
Lately it seems that all the news that appear on the newspapers are about dead people, the UNO rating Mexico more dangerous than Afghanistan, 40 people turning up dead in holes, political scandals and all sorts of mayhem. This is overshadowing the beauty and rich culture that our country has. I decided to make a photo session combining the tradition of the country with one of the most exclusive modern installations that the country has. I presented this project as part of my graduation thesis for the Grisart School of Photography to show a different side of the country that sadly is being forgotten and replaced by a hopefully transitory mess..

Jack Daniels Music Day
Jack Daniels Music Day was a huge succes! It featured I am Kloot, We are scientists (My personal favorite) , Sr. Chinarro, Nada Surf and many other amazing bands and Djs. However, I was told that if you were not in the VIP area there were huge cues for the food and drinks and a shortage of soda starting at 12 .... Nevertheless, everybody had a great time, and got the chance to try the tasty Jack Daniels cocktails and free BBQ. It started at 8 and went on untill 5 in the morning in the beautiful terraza olimpica.

Tripoli: Libya international world youth summit
Last week I flew to Tripoli, Libya for the international youth summit.
Libya wants to give a more juvenile and open image of their country. My task was to represent the mexican youth and network with young world leaders.
Their hospitality was amazing and Libya has definitely things to offer. Although it is one of the most conservative countries in Africa, we rarely got the feeling of insecurity or danger. The conference included an invitation to a beautiful seven stars hotel called Rixos with everything included and diplomatic treatment throughout our stay in the country. Of course most of the networking happened between latin american countries , since our cultures are very similar and some of us already knew each other.
We got the honor to meet interesting people, like Muhammed Al Gadaffi, government representatives from Libya and other countries, International Filmmakers and young world leaders from different sectors. Most impressive for me was the presentations by their government representatives, where they exposed their countries future investments and construction plans.. Libya is aiming in becoming an international city and grow in industries such as tourism, and oil exportation. The most interesting project was a river from the south to the north of Tripoli which due to pressure and location and hight flew natural bringing water reserves to the north .
In the following there are some pictures posted from the conference and the delegations which were represented at the conference.
