This is a picture of a "music man" in Mexico's largest square. This is somewhat of a cultural tradition and you will see these men all throughout the city (no monkeys though!). Comments/critiques are most welcome!
Danielle - An interesting b/w photo. It appears that it is a government building behind the music man, with the barricade and uniformed officials. That the music man, with his barrel organ, is also uniformed is striking, especially in this setting. Your photo has great clarity and balanced lighting. Thad
The building behind the man is actually the Presidential Palace. The window above the man (not in view), where the guard is stationed is where the president comes out and makes speeches.
