When an editor called to ask if I could photograph a story about fireflies in Mexico, I didn't check my schedule before I said yes. I'd seen these insects light up the forests in Tlaxcala once before, and I jumped at the chance to go back.

當(dāng)一位編輯打來(lái)問(wèn)我是否可以為一個(gè)關(guān)于墨西哥的螢火蟲(chóng)報(bào)導(dǎo)拍照時(shí)，我沒(méi)查看我的時(shí)間表就答應(yīng)了。我曾經(jīng)看過(guò)這些昆蟲(chóng)點(diǎn)亮特拉克斯卡拉的森林，而我欣然接受再回去的機(jī)會(huì)。

While studying at the University of Colima, I began exploring Mexico, crossing the country several times by bus. I've spent time in 28 of its 31 states, and the variety of landscapes -- Michoacán's beaches, Colima's volcano, San Luis Potosí's plateau -- captivates me in a way that no other country has.

當(dāng)我就讀科利馬大學(xué)時(shí)，我開(kāi)始探索墨西哥，多次乘巴士汽車(chē)穿越這個(gè)國(guó)家。我去過(guò)墨西哥31州中的28個(gè)州，該國(guó)多樣化的景觀，米卻肯州的海灘、科利馬州的火山、圣路易斯波托西州的高原，比任何其他國(guó)家都令我著迷。

Now I work as a photojournalist in Mexico and along the border, documenting desperate situations that rarely seem to improve for everyday Mexicans. I'm lucky enough to be able to leave when I need to; my Mexican colleagues face censorship and threats to their lives.

如今我在墨西哥和美墨邊境附近擔(dān)任攝影記者，記錄著對(duì)墨西哥人來(lái)說(shuō)似乎難以改善的絕境。我很幸運(yùn)在我需要時(shí)就能離開(kāi)這里；我的墨西哥同事們得繼續(xù)面對(duì)新聞審查和生命威脅。

Though necessary and important, news stories don't reflect the Mexico that I fell for and that is home to so many people I love. An assignment focused on the country's natural beauty was a welcome reprieve.

雖然新聞報(bào)導(dǎo)是必要且重要的，卻無(wú)法反映我所愛(ài)的墨西哥，而且這里住著許多我愛(ài)的人。這個(gè)聚焦在墨西哥自然美景的任務(wù)成了令人愉快的慰藉。
