FOTO LOTO - la dama

The loto or bingo is probably one of the most popular games in the world, just for fun, for the thrill of gambling or for the prizes. Traditionally in Mexico, the lotto game has been very popular since the beginning of the 18th century with the difference that instead of numbers, figures with traditional objects, plants, animal, persons etc. are drawn. In some parts of the country, besides just telling the name and showing the card, verses are said to make more intersting the game. For those who undertsand spanish, here is an example:

la dama

"La dama puliendo el paso, por toda la calle real"

or

"La dama se menena al paso, como chocolate de estación "

With a group of friend photographers, we have decided to do a photographic lotto, draw 4 cards per month and by the end of that month, we can have an interesting data base to create a photo-lotto. In mexican traditional lotto there are 54 cards, so it will take us 14 months to complete the project. This is the second deliver. I will be posting my results in this blog along with the traditional image.
