MEXICO
Mexico was another favorite region that Walt Girdner loved to visit. These photographs continue to explore his earlier themes, looking at ordinary people in day-to-day pursuits as well as panoramic rural vistas. Here, they combine with the themes of Mexican life, ranging from the dramatic and bloody contest of a bullfight to the deeply agrarian basis of life in the Mexican countryside. They include images of a child brickmaker and a young glassblower, extending Girdner's focus on the condition and sensibilities of young people.
