Wow What a great collection of the many faces of Bogota.

The photo of the rasta guy (# 14), looks like it is just outside of one of the Palacio De La Esmeralda stores....weird.

Phenomenal Amazing work. I'd like to do more portraits in the street like that, but I feel like I'd need a Colombian friend with me to watch my back and talk to the people for me. Something about it just feels so awkward to me... the "rich gringo" with a fancy camera wanting to take pictures of street people... it kind of makes me cringe. I wonder if this photographer gives money to the beggars.

Goosekirk I feel the same way, I almost feel as though I am imposing too much. I have taken a few photos of homeless people here in Orlando where I live and it is not easy for me to approach these poor people wanting to take their photo.
