Face of the Day-6

Tango in San Telmo, Pablo & Inez 

This is one of my favorite photos that I have taken over the years. It was my first trip trip to Buenos Aires, Argentina and this was the last day I was there. I had been to this area of the city, San Telmo, on Sunday and it was lively very festive and pack with people. On this day which was now Thursday, I was walking around the city and decided to cut through San Telmo on my way back to the Hotel. I saw this couple gently dancing and stop to watch them as they were very elegant compared to most of the tango dancers you see on the streets. I almost got lost in the moment before I raised my camera and took a couple of images of them. As soon as I stopped they just walked away and left the park and I thought, wow, I took those photos just in time before they disappeared.  A few years later I learned their names on another trip I took to Argentina.

Old Time Photographer-Mexico City

When I took this photo the New Age of Digital Photography was gaining ground at a fast rate. I'm sure it wasn't long after this, that this gentleman was hard press to find any work especially now with iphones and selfie sticks. I sure he took a lot of photos of tourist and young lovers in the park in his day but since he shot Polaroid he wouldn't even have any memories of the photos he took.

Street Performer Ana Maria, Taking a Break.

A street performer in Buenos Aires, Argentina take a break to snack on a fresh hot empanada. On Sundays in this wonderful city full of artsy people the food vendor come out in droves to serve not only the performers but also the thousands of locals and tourist that flood the streets enjoying the entertainment and local cuisine.

A Face a Day-3

La Munequita, Antigua, Guatemala 

La Munequita, or the Little Doll, this is what this little girl reminded me of when I saw her standing there with her cute little outfit on. If your wondering what she has in her mouth, she is drinking milk from a plastic bags. In Guatemala, and other countries in Central and South America its common to sell milk and water in these little plastic bags. I guess its cheaper that selling them in bottles or cartons.
