Street kids on Avenida Technologico, Juarez – 2010 Pictures? More pictures of dead bodies in the streets of Juárez? Hard to want to do. I’m not visiting. I live here. It’s better when you have to get the images for your boss/editor and then high-tail it to the airport. But, I’m not working for a [...]

Town plaza, Zaragoza, Chihuahua-05/08/2010 Sunny normal day. In Zaragoza/Juárez? Impossible! I couldn’t work it in -excuses!- but beyond the Tarahamara woman and her brood, in the deep darkness of the trees, protected by yellow police tape and the Policia Federal -who shooed me away- lies a dead woman in her twenties. Cause of death? Bullet [...]
Zaragoza (Juarez), Chihuahua, street kids at scene of a murdered woman, 05/08 ©Bruce Berman 2010 Two border towns. El Paso and Juarez. One city is half dead and the other is in a coma. Guess which is which? As always, a trip to Juarez puts everything in perspective and raises big questions. For openers: We [...]
Dead Police and Murderer in Juarez by heroic by anonymous El Diario de Juarez photographer Today in Juarez. More of the same. If this were anywhere else we’d be sending aide and 120,000 troops. Instead we send DEA Agents (under the terms of the “Merida Initiative”) and clandestine military “trainers,” to train soldiers and police…to [...]
Alameda in Mist, December 2, 2009 The view south, across Alameda street, across the Chamizal, three blocks beyond, across the bridge, into Juarez, into Chihuahua, into Mexico, beyond. Usually the view is razor sharp. The last few days have fuzzed things up: snow, rain, and, now, this morning, fog. Been looking south across this razor [...]
El Puente Cordova, El Paso/Juarez, November 30, 2009 Snow! A rarity in this no-mans-land. Hardship. No one is ready for it. Not man nor beast nor domicile. The aftermath will be unnavigable mud on some of the streets in Juarez: there’s always a fire from people using heaters they’re not used to using; tons of [...]
Pretty spot/bad times-Juarez 2009 Juarez / October 2009 Murders continue. Record year. Day of the Dead is coming. Like every day hasn’t been that. The streets have an eerie decay to them. Litter. Boarded up windows. Still a lot of hustle but the nights are empty and in the shadows are things no one wants [...]
Dignified man #7, Juarez ©2009 Bruce Berman Juarez/13 June 2009 So what else is there in Juarez besides murder and catastrophe? Right now, it doesn’t seem like anything. But, then, there are those moments. Tender Mercies. I walk the streets. I walk the beaten down downtown. I bus through the factory landscape with For Lease [...]
