Foto Saeki is a deserted analogue photography goods store in the Santa Maria la Ribera neighborhood in Mexico City. Its owner, Yukio Saeki, arrived to Mexico in 1955. At 86 years old, he can still hear the echo of a hot Monday morning in Japan, as he walked across a field toward the ocean when he was 13 years old.
