In 2014, I was 13-years old and travelled to Mexico for an extended holiday with my mother and brother. My mother said that in exchange for a prolonged break from schoolwork, my brother and I each had to spend time on a personal photographic project. I photographed Mexican Beetles (the car) and my brother did Mexican Virgins ( as in Gualalupe). Both our projects were published into a book called Beetles/Virgins.
