Figure 1.--here we see an unidentified Mexican girl with a young goose. Many familes in rural Mexico kept chickens around the home. Some had geese. They were just as good as a guard dog.

An important modern Mexican photograspher is Rafael Doniz. We have very lttle biograsphicasl information on him. We know that he was born in Mexico City (1948). It began his photographic career as an assistant to Manuel Alvarez Bravo (1973-76). Doniz is a genre photographer interested in capturing images of Amer-Indian life and rural Mexico in general. He has left us beautiful images of a still traditional Mexico before it emerged as a regional leader, building a modern economy. His engaging images have been exhibited in museums in Mexico and the United States as well as Europe. A lot of his images come from Guanajuato in central Mexico near Mexico City. A number like this beautiful image are of children (figure 1), but he did not focus on children.
