Mexicoman (1998) Photograph by Frankie Malone

I took this picture in a Mayan ruin somewhere in Mexico, on a very hot day this guy caught my attention as he was just sitting there on the bench taking in the sun looking over a beautiful scene. I overexposed the picture by accident but quite like the way it reflects the heat. I can't remember where exactly I took the picture as it was a 3 week trip from Mexico city to the southern border town of Chiapas. I got there and back from a mixture of bus trips, lifts and car..... it was before the age of the smartphone so I was following my instinct as opposed to a device. Amazing country and I hope to return soon.
