MEXICO
CLIFF NANCY HOLLENBECK
FOREWORD BYJAMES A. MICHENER ESSAY BY RICHARD J. PIETSCHMANN
Mexico speaks of romance and enchantment, of brightly dressed dancers and curious folk art, of tropical beaches and isolated hidian peoples, of ancient ruins and colonial architecture and modern high-rises.
Cliff and Nancy Hollenbeck's cameras have captured the \'ibrant essence of Mexican life, from the bustling cultural and economic center, Mexico City, to the smaller but equally fascinating cities of Oaxaca and Guadalajara. This photographic odyssey through the country's distinct regions includes, as well, the beautiful beach resorts of Acapulco, Cancún, and Puerto Vallarta and the colonial cities of Mérida and Guanajuato. Of course, no portrait of Mexico could be complete without images of the great remains of the Aztec and Maya civilizatíons. Chichén Itzá and Teotihuacán are just two of the better-known archaeological sites Cliff and Nancy have explored and captured on film.
