Foto Saeki is an analog photo store on Cedro St. in the Santa María la Ribera neighborhood in Mexico City. Its owner, Yukio Saeki, came to Mexico in 1955. Now 83 years old, he can still hear the echo of a Monday morning when he was 13, as he walked toward the ocean in Japan, near Hiroshima, and the atomic bomb fell from the sky.
