Week four: Color

During a Visa run to the southern Mexican state of Chiapas, I came across the funeral services for retired Bishop Samuel Ruiz in San Cristobal De Las Casas. The Bishop was a defender of indigenous rights and was a mediator in the peace talks between the Mexican government and the Zapatista rebels. He passed away Monday at the age of 86. People from Chiapas posted signs of prayers and blessings to the Bishop on the walls of the church. This week's challenge was color or something colorful, the churches down here are all colorful, at times all the color down here can be a bit overwhelming. - Josh

This might be almost too literal, but it came of its own accord. After my son was done coloring he started playing with his wind up robot trying to make it walk over the crayons. I thought it looked cool, and realized how it would fit the week's challenge after I shot it. --Alicia
