Angela Karas Photo Journal

Two years ago, I picked up photography as the world slowly started to move out of a global pandemic. I had received my notice that I would be shipping off to Queretaro, Mexico for my Fulbright grant, a month before I was set to leave, and that my life was going to change forever. A wait of two years was finally coming to an end. Life has always been full of travels and adventures. Everywhere I go, I find joy in meeting new folks and hearing their stories. With each place I visit, siempre llevo recuerdos conmigo. I'll be taking you back to where it all started: in September of 2021. This site will act as a retro-photojournal, documenting my time in Mexico during my Fulbright grant with COMEXUS, the challenges I faced, and living and learning about Mexican culture through the eyes of an Adopted Mexican-American 20-something year old. I hope you get a ‘feel’ for Mexico, and get to know the people and faces behind its culture, through my lens.
