The photographs are a collection of memories created from visual texture and colors while others reveal iconic cross-cultural symbols. He (John Tapia Urquizas) captured the photographs while traveling through the west and northern Baja from 1989 to 2006. The images wander from dreamscapes of different eras-such as a 50's diner in "café"-to 70s Chicano car culture in "beat 64"-to abstractions reminiscent of Walker Evans in the image "Nogales."
