In this village, there were more than a few women wearing traditional dress. This town is not far from the municipal capital of Tlaquilpa. The teacher at the bi-lingual school helped facilitate the photo session. I gotta say that these white on white blouses are really hard to photograph. So I have included the entire session. These things happen fast before a person can change their mind. She was wearing a great blue blouse which gave great contrast, however she would not let me take her picture in it because it was dirty. She went and changed into this blouse.
