Fixer in Mexico City.

Dear All,

I am seeking a fixer in Mexico City
to basically watch my back. I can
speak the language, so it is just
to navigate dodgy, lonely industrial
spaces safely, sometimes after dark.
Some local knowledge of the colonias
of the city is what I seek.

Any info is helpful.

Thank you.

Best,

James.

You should talk to Rodrigo (http://rodrigocruz.com/).
He’s a photographer, not a fixer, but he’ll probably know to point you ikn the right direction, and hes a great guy so he’ll probably be glad to help :)

I’ll second getting in contact with Rodrigo…great guy, great photog…should definitely be able to get you closer to what you are looking for. Good Luck…Mexico city is pretty safe for the most part.

Thank you both. Actually Rodrigo was suggested
to me by another friend. So he sounds like a
great guy.

Thank you.

Best,

Oh yea, I forgot about Nicola :)
Sorry buddy.

Nicola also knows his way around Mexico City, obviously. I hang out with him there a couple of months ago…

Hey, James:

I´d love to help you out and know Mexico City pretty well, but I live far away in Chihuahua. You know, I think Nicola Okin would be just the person you´re looking for. He knows his way around well, speaks the language, is creative, and understands photography and special assignments, like what I imagine you´re trying to do.

good luck, and perhaps we´ll hook up in the future.

Also try Nikola Okin Frioli (okinreport@gmail.com), a fantastic Italian photographer who has been living there for a few years. He is also on skype I know.

wow Nikola, qué fama tienes, no? :)

Hi Guys!
Saludos Matt, Gidi, Nicola y Amanda!
My friend Matt, how are you?
Thanks for confidence, I wrote to James 10 minutes ago.
I will try to help him.

Hi Brian,

Thanks for the help. I was off line for a while
but now I am back. Worse things could happen
than getting waylaid by everyone down there.
I’ll be in touch.

Cheers,

James.
