What is this site? This is where Raul Gutierrez experiments with various personal web projects.
Where are the pictures of Mexico? Mexican Pictures refers to the person taking the pictures, not the subject matter. This said, you can find some mexico pictures
here.
So you are Mexican? You don't look Mexican. I'm Mexican/Irish.
Do you like tacos? If I could, I would eat tacos every day.
Can I hire you to take photographs? It depends on the project, but in general, yes.
How do I reach you? Email is best. YoRaul@ (this website).
When were these pictures taken? The vast majority are from 1999 to the present, a few are older and date as far back as 1991.
Where are you now? Probably Brooklyn.
Do you sell your photos? Yes, please contact
my gallery.
I hear you don't eat cheese. That's not a question.
Do you eat cheese? No.
Why not? I don't know.
Where can I find more stuff? I have a
personal website, but the photography there is a bit of a mishmosh.
How often do you update? Sometimes very regularly, sometimes, not.
What cameras do you use? Nikon FM2, Polaroid SX-70, Mamiya 7.
Your pictures are too big for my monitor. What should I do? Time to get a bigger monitor.
What's the deal with your hair?I've been grey since I was 18. I expect I'll only get greyer.
Do you really hate cats? My goodness yes.
Can I have a question answered here? Yes, just email (you can also twitter or get on flickr @ themexican).

This site is breathtaking, I am in total admiration of the work you have done and its structure. The pictures come alive, tell a story. I read that you were going to put up some templates containing the structure, when ever this is released I would be so honored to see them. Best of luck, cuidate. -G

Raul,
We like the same stuff: travelling and shooting pictures, the only difference: you do it so much better than me. :-)

Raul, your photos blow my mind! I can't get enough and love to experience the vision of a fellow Irishman (although I've got no Mexican in me and I was born in the States)... :) Anyway, I've linked to your site on today's post on my photoblog located here:
http://www.cleu.org/blink/photoarchive/2005/09/seeing_green.html
and you're also listed in my favorite blog list on my about page-- much respect for you and such wonderful inspiration. Thank you for sharing!

tus fotos son excelentes; en realidad no soy experto en fotografÃa ,incluso un lego en la materia puede saber que tus fotos son algo que no puede de ninguna manera pasar desapercibido.
¿why don´t you live in Mexico?

Hola Raúl!Antes que nada quiero decirte que disfruté mucho viendo tus fotografÃas, son impresionantes, especialmente los retratos.
Te cuento, soy mexicana como tú (crecà en Monterrey), vivo en Manhattan y también amo la fotografÃa.
Quiero comprarme una cámara Polaroid y quiero algo profesional pero por lo pronto me conformo con algo más accesible en cuanto a precio. Tengo interés en comprar la que tú tienes, la Polaroid SX-70. La he buscado en ebay pero antes de comprar nada me gustarÃa que me aconsejaras sobre qué puedo esperar de esta cámara. Sé que están por discontinuar el film para este modelo, asà que no sé qué hacer. Cualquier recomendación será agradecida.
Hasta pronto,
Karlota

raul said...
Buy the SX-70 they've been talking about discontinuing the film for years, but somehow it always gets saved.
