I want to write and congratulate you on your funding, and wish you the best of luck striking out on your journey. Your project sounds really rad. I mostly just caught wind of it, and I was struck but how under-used KS is by or about Mexican things-people. Which is mostly another story, but I will bring it back around in a minute …

What I liked about your streetcar work was the idea of giving a less media saturated view of India’s people to Canada’s people. While no lense and no photographer is unbiased, your work separates much of the politics from the situation, gives a new POV to Toron…ites?, and allows folks to view something artistic for a second, not is supposed to be newsworthy. Me late – a way of saying in Spanish I like, but literally means it makes me heart beat – all of this.

I’m an American living in Mexico City at present. I would like to invite you here. I believe you’ve got your plans made already, but if you would like to walk down, it’s only around 1800 miles more, give or take. As you know, it’s a very politically charged act to walk across the Mexico-US border. As you travel south, I imagine that you will feel the influence of migration, immigration and Mexico more and more. I have not been to either place, but I picture LA and Tijuana as distinct places, but each as fused as the other, to the point that TJ feels as US* as LA feels Mexican.

As a Canadian, you have the advantage of not being a US person* in seeing and presenting this. The same advantage can aid you in simply presenting my country photographically with little more distance.

If you decide to come, I can arrange for you shows in art galleries, events where you can present and talk about your work, and workshops that you can teach. Work relative to US-Mexican personal relations would be interesting to folks here. Of course, work about the pueblo estadounidense (the everyday US people), would also be of interest to folks here, for many of the same reasons it would be interesting to folks in India.

Anecdotally, I also wanted to add that there are many metro stations here which have galleries throughout their hallways. Photos are periodically shown, and often scenes of regular people, rural Mexicans as urban Chinese. Can’t promise anything like that but it doesn’t seem very unlikely either. I also thought you’d like to know that, although of course presenting art in a must-see advertising public space is very different than presenting images in a gallery, even if the gallery space is in a public space

*In English we are lacking adjectives to describe things and people from the US. As the word American refers to all of the Americas, I decided to improvise.

Best of luck and buena onda.
Love, Carey

PS My people are on the east coast, or I would offer you space. I highly recommend couchsurfing.org.

PPS Maybe you would tell me to do it myself. That would be okay too!

In my knowledge, some of the floriculture company is there in Pune. Can some body help me to understand how is there marketing srategy.

some grander questions: how can we cultivate that lovewallah-ness inside of all of us? are there ways in which our individual quest can be used to inspire or instruct others? how do we provide each other with support, when needed? how do we know who to ask for support?
