Mexico

Hola, Chica

Written by Mark McElroy

When we travel, I often wander the streets with my Lumix camera at the ready — not up to my face, which draws attention, but in my hand, held at about waist height, snapping photos as I walk.

Results vary, of course. But I loved this shot of this young girl, taken just steps away from the crazy-busy Zocalo. Her dad, out of frame, was snapping her photo on this cloudy, chilly afternoon … and, quite by accident, I snapped a photo of her, too.

Her coat, her mittens, her turned-in toes — I love everything about her.

I’ve racked up more than a million Delta SkyMiles exclusively through pleasure travel — earning me the nickname “Million Mile Mark.” Because family and friends planning their own vacations ask for recommendations all the time, I came up with the idea of sharing my suggestions online.
