Exhibit captures a culture within - The lens of African-American photographer Tony Gleaton always focuses on people no one else photographs. - San Diego

His exhibit of 20 photos, titled “In Land of Heart’s Desire,” portrays daily life among indigenous groups in remote regions of Mexico and Guatemala. The exhibit, at the Vista Public Library, ends March 28. There will be a reception for the photographer at 2 p.m. tomorrow, and guitarist José Rodríguez will be featured.

To create these black-and-white photographs, Gleaton traveled on bus and on foot to reach the villages of the Tarahumara sierra. In Guatemala, he visited mountain villages in the center of the nation. And back in Mexico, he spent time in the coastal towns of the Seri, in Sonora.”*
