Mexico City's José Vasconcelos Library, labeled by the press as the "Megabiblioteca" ("megalibrary"), is considered a controversial and also the largest investment in infrastructure in the Vicente Fox administration. It is dedicated to José Vasconcelos, the former philosopher, presidential candidate and president of the National Library of Mexico. The library is spread on 38,000 square meters[1] and had an initial planned cost of 954 million pesos (roughly 98 million US dollars) The Congress of Fox inaugurated the Library May 16, 2006 declaring that this is one of the most advanced constructions of the 21st century, and it would be spoken of throughout the world.[4] This inauguration took place a week before the deadline the president had to promote his accomplishments before the 2006 presidential election.

I like where you're going. Great scale and human element. It feels like a real picture and this is where HDR needs to go. We see 11f stops and camera only 6f stops. To many of us are still in the gaga stage where we are finding our way. My only knock
