"Mexico a journey through faith, streets, faces and traditions.
My name is Said Herrera Coyac, I am 45 years old, the last 14 on Flickr, today I could say that I am a photographer, I live in Mexico, a country of 128 million inhabitants and 32 states, distributed over 2 million square kilometers.
We have been independent from the Spanish colony for 209 years, in this fusion of cultures, faith, gastronomy and way of life have been adapting every morning.
Mexico is a country made of Mexicans who have surprising abilities to recover from tragedy through faith, to thank, enjoy, dance, sing and laugh. I have only been traveling through this country for a few years, and I still have many deserts to go. , forests, waterfalls, species of birds, people, looks and smiles to discover.
The following 100 photos are a small journey and tribute to the people who live here.
Thank you."

"México un viaje por la fe, calles, rostros y tradiciones.
Me llamo Said Herrera Coyac, tengo 45 años, los últimos 14 en Flickr, hoy podría decir que soy un fotógrafo, vivo en México un país de 128 millones de habitantes y 32 estados, distribuidos a lo largo de 2 millones de kilómetros cuadrados.
Llevamos 209 años siendo independientes de la colonia española, en esta fusión de culturas, la fe, la gastronomía y la forma vivir se han ido adaptando cada mañana.
México es un país hecho de mexicanos que tienen habilidades sorprendentes para reponerse de la tragedia a traves de la fe, para agradecer, disfrutar, bailar, cantar y reir, llevo apenas algunos años viajando a través de este país, y aun me faltan muchos desiertos, bosques, cascadas, especies de pájaros, personas, miradas y sonrisas por descubrir.
Las siguientes 100 fotos son un pequeño viaje y tributo a las personas que viven aqui.
Gracias."
