Oscar Fernando Gomez Rodriguez (b.1970) is an artist who lives and works in Mexico. He began as a wedding photographer, but supplemented his income by driving a taxi. The window of the taxi became the frame for his work as he travelled across Moneterrey, Mexico documenting life on the street as he knew it. The work is tinged with sadness as it was initially intended to be an album of urban photographs for his daughter who tragically died just after birth.

So, with my camera, I started inviting people to go back to their future.” read more
