anatole Posted April 16, 2011 Author Share Posted April 16, 2011 <p>Jim - I think some people do like to be photographed. But with the most interesting characters, they can take offense, or at least it will make them uncomfortable. When shooting in a developing country such as Bolivia, there are also two other considerations: first, there may be some superstition involved, and second, people dislike being photographed because they think you´re capturing them as subjects of poverty.<br> I´m afraid I´m going to have to disappoint you Ralph - I went up a second time to try and find the blockades; but since they´re illegal, they are deliberately positioned to make life difficult while avoiding riot police. However, they are a common occurrence in Bolivia, so I´m sure I´ll be able to capture something in the future.<br> In the meantime, I did a bit more street photography, certainly more ´conspicuously´this time (photographing individual people). Unfortunately it will be a while before I can show them to you all - I only have an 8-reel development tank with me, and would prefer to do everything in one go...</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jim_hayes4 Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 <p>Took me a week to get these out of the cell phone. Both were taken with permission - and enthusiasm by the subjects. The corset was on an attendee of the Leather Fetish convention at our hotel in SF last week. No shy folks there....</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
