One fine Wednesday morning

Posted by visiones (Athens, Greece) on 18 December 2007 in Lifestyle & Culture.

This is a shot of everyday life in Bolivia and how people try to live and have fun despite poverty and all the difficulties they must cope with: everything, it seems, can trigger a celebration! On that day it was an event sponsored by a television station.

Note on Photography: Dear Am3 friends, I have a question - I have been thinking a lot about the photo and whether I chose the right angle or not while shooting it. While part of me thinks it's wrong because it pictures people "sidetracking", another part of me thinks it's an interesting approach because it highlights how the people are "flowing"/dancing/moving and by no means "static" which is of course true of Bolivians. What do you think?

Thank you very much!
