| [Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note |
| While on the way to visit one of the highland communities near Quisapincha, an oncoming truck refused to stay to his side of the road, causing my companion to swerve and get the vehicle stuck in a muddy rut. After about 45 minutes of useless efforts among the two of us and three women who had been working down the road, we were able to get in touch with the cabildo (local leader) in the community of Illagua Chaupiloma, who was waiting for us. He then arrived with a handful of men and women from the community, whereupon everyone pitched in to lift, push and pull until the truck was extracted. This photo was taken during the final struggle just as our friends finished the task. |

I really like this image because it tells a story. And your words add to it nicely. It reminds me of a trip I took in Peru a few years back when our bus got stuck up the doors in muck the community effort to remove it. Your composition of the scene (purposeful of not) is great with the smiling women in the background and the Quechua clothing. Strange this image really makes me want to be in South America!
