Beautiful Photographs From Mexico Alex Webb is one of the premier living street photographers of our time. The photographs in this book are "from" Mexico, not "of" Mexico except in a belonging way, and communicate the essence of life in this beautiful country. If you are familiar with Alex Webb and his multi-layered, color-laden photos capturing moments of every day life in his unique style you will not be disappointed. If you are not familiar I highly recommend you purchase this book from a master artist. There are no Photoshop tricks or exaggerated bokeh in this photography. Context for the subjects is never miss. "street photography" according to Walter Ray Davis Jr.. excellent street photography. "Disappointed" according to V. A. Sheppard. Was hoping for photos that would show the beauty of Mexico, but none there. Disappointed. Wish I had not bought it.
