Photographer’s Note
A color spring festival on Caminito, Buenos Aires.
The flowers are of a local plant named "estrella federal", and this showed in the pic is a very large one.
In Caminito the houses are painted of strong colors, originally the paint came from which exceeded to paint the boats and ships of La Boca's port.
I liked the transparency of the leaves with his backlighting, and the rhyme between the construction (that also was a tree, since it's made of wood), and the materiality of the "estrella federal".

Festival de colores de primavera en Caminito, Buenos Aires.
La planta que se ve en la imagen es una "estrella federal", y esa es realmente enorme comparada con las que se suelen ver. Los colores de Caminito (dicen) son así de fuertes pues las casas del barrio eran pintadas con los sobrantes de la pintura usada en los barcos del puerto de La Boca.
Me gustó la transparencia de las hojas con su contraluz, y la rima entre la construcción (que alguna vez también fue un vegetal, ya que es de madera), y la materialidad de la misma estrella federal.
