My friend César el fotógrafo has quite a collection of photos of lacondones and other indios on the walls of his studio and for sale. He's not far from the route they take through town to get to the mercado. I just don't believe that "there were small computer stores in the regional towns with picture printing ability and cameras for rent". For a high price in Villahermosa, Tuxtla Gutiérrez, Mérida perhaps - but those are not 'regional towns', they're state capitals. The great majority of people I know never go there unless they have a court date or need a passport or something like that - these are mejicanos. Yes, the lacondón are very attractive to the tourists and the 'journalists', they could likely have any technology they wanted just by asking, but that's a special situation that exists precisely because they don't want it. We were talking about your friend before, weren't we ... forget which thread. No, I can't see it, not there ... and I do know something of what happens there. Tell you what - in four weeks I'll buy César a beer in the little restaurant beside his studio and ask him if he knows anybody who wants a digital doomahickey instead of a camera -g-
