After traveling through a dirt road for about two hours we arrived at a small village hidden in Guerrero, Mexico. The village lacked running water and electricity, yet the people manage without the basic utilities. I walked around the village and took some photos while my friend Renzo and our driver Charlie befriended the locals. We met two little sisters while visiting different families throughout the village, the precious sisters were named Stephanie and Jenny. The two girls lead us to their home. Once there I began to play with the sisters and posing them and taking their pictures. As I was keeping the little girls entertained; Renzo was interviewing their mother about their family lifestyle and how they make it with the little resources that they have. I would show them their photos on the LCD screen on my camera; the girls would laugh and giggle yelling out “Otra, Otra!” I was afraid I was interfering with Renzo’s interview from all the noise and fun the girls and I were having, but I continued playing along with them and they loved it. After a while I sat down next to the girls and they started to ask me a question. But, because their Spanish is different, I had a hard time understanding what they were trying to ask me. Finally our driver said “They are asking you if you have any daughters of your own?” I smiled at the girls when he translated their question to a Spanish I could comprehend. I told them in Spanish that I was “Soltero y sin hijas” and they both responded with bright eyes and warm smiles. I stood as long as I could while my friends were waiting by the car. It was time to go and both little Jenny and Stephanie walked me out to the edge of their property and we said our “good-byes.”

I was on an assignment taking photos in a small pueblo in the Mexican state of Guerrero. A small town where the only paved road is the main street that runs through the heart of the city, every other street was dirt. I was walking down the main road with my camera in hand looking for my shots, when a local youth peddled towards me on his bicycle. I thought he was going to ask me what I was taking photos of. Instead with a tone of curiosity in his voice he asked “Eres Cholo?” I gently smiled at him while he looked at me to confirm his suspicion. I didn’t know what to say, because I never labeled myself as a “Cholo”. Since I didn’t answer his first question, he then asked “de donde eres?” I replied “Cercas de Los Angeles en los Estados Unidos” He nodded “Yes” like I proved what he was thinking. He asked me to speak to him in English. I asked him “What do you want me to say?” He smiled from ear to ear like it was music to his ears. He looked at my FIRME tee shirt and said “Te quiero compra tu playera. Mi lo Vendes?” I asked him in Spanish if he really liked my shirt, he answered “SI!”. I literally took the shirt off my back and handed him my FIRME tee shirt and said “Un Regalo.” He couldn’t believe it and told me “Gracias” with a warm smile. I took his photo holding up his new FIRME shirt. He put the shirt on. It was at least two sizes too big, but that didn’t matter to him. We took a photo together, shook hands and he thanked me once again. He jumped on his bike and road off down a dusty street representin’ FIRME CLOTHING, not knowing who I was or what I do. I’ll probably never see him again. But for that moment our worlds met because of a FIRME tee shirt. I left him with my shirt and he left me with a story. He goes down his road. I go down mine…
