Joined Atlas Obscura in 2017

Photojournalist based in Mexico, I am always pleased to collaborate with Atlas Obscura with texts and photos, I edit my own explorer's guide featuring strange, mythical and legendary places in the world, using Mexico as the epicenter of the unusual, so a big percent are places located in MX... and expanding the radius from there to all continents and the universe. And yes... maybe places that Atlas Obscura won't publish. ; ) www.reconditosite.wordpress.com www.twitter.com/reecondito Cheers mates!
