This picture still makes me smile!
It is taken in La Boca, Argentina, on my first 'real travel' after I finished my studies. This neighbourhood in Argentina is covered in crazy colours and some gimmicks (quite touristy actually). I wasn't very much a street photographer then but I immediately saw the change when this man, standing next to a painted 'statue' lifted his arms to take a picture in front of that gorgeous blue wall!
A very intuitive shot and far from perfect, but it's the memory and the silliness of the whole image that makes it one I very much love :-)
Thanks for making me look through my archives and stumbling upon this shot! It was taken in 2009 :-) Gosh, time flies!
Congrats Rosanne, you win 3 points! A great moment captured. The red-and-white camera even matches the statue of the same color tones, and the circle shapes form an interesting contrast. :)
:D Thanks for the points @itchyfeetdonica - but even more fun are your comments on the picture and the tiny details you were able to observe and appreciate! <3
I just realized I actually did a photo journal of Caminito in La Boca 2 weeks ago! Check it out if interested. :)
