Children in the southern state of Oaxaca, Mexico where I photographed while visiting in the summer of 2012.

She was very aware of the camera, and interested in the attention.

Seemingly naturally disposed in the art of posing…one of many fine shots she made for the camera.

Mom’s too, of course.

And big sisters!
![Shy-Boy_KE19606 Shy Boy](http://kenstorch.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/Shy-Boy_KE19606.jpg)
Some children were shy, and didn’t quite get into it, even if I showed them the monitor image of themselves. This boy remained unsure.
![Bubble-Boys_KE18709 Boys Playing with Bubbles](http://kenstorch.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/Bubble-Boys_KE18709.jpg)
Some were so engaged in their activities as to be oblivious of the camera. Boys and their bubbles.
![Running-Girl_KE19025 Running Dancing Girl](http://kenstorch.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/Running-Girl_KE19025.jpg)
This girl, totally self involved, running and dancing in the pedestrian street, Alacala of Oaxaca.
![Bouncing-Boy_KE17820 Boy Being Bounced by the Crowd](http://kenstorch.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/Bouncing-Boy_KE17820.jpg)
During a street event, band playing, people dancing, the crowd was bouncing this boy in the air.

Even the dog is not sure what to make of this boy’s actions.
![Ken-Storch-Oaxaca-11497.jpg Angel on a Truck](http://kenstorch.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/Ken-Storch-Oaxaca-11497.jpg)
During the opening of the annual festival of Oaxaca, the Guelaguetza, a truck rode into the main plaza of the Zócalo in the Centro Historico. Angels and all.
![Angel-Cathedral_KE11519 Angel on a Truck in Front of the Cathedral](http://kenstorch.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/Angel-Cathedral_KE11519.jpg)
This girl in the role of angel was clearly a crowd favorite with dozens of cell-phone photogs clicking away.
Girl posing for the camera, beautiful.
Indeed. she’s a poser 😉
Angel on a truck, surreal.
It was a night of surreal images
