An intersection in Tijuana, MX a few days before Christmas. A boy no more than ten. Stilts taller than him taped to his chins with duct tape.
His face- a facade. Brown skin covered in orange makeup. Eyelids and lips painted white. A red felt ball covers his nose. A clown.
I raise my lens.
He raises his fingers.
Peace.
The button is pushed. The image captured.
I tip him before I cross the street.
The boy continues to perform.
I disappear.
