Pinapple Festival, a photo from Santa Cruz, North

Photographer's Note

La Pina Fiesta in Santa Cruz de la Sierra was completely bizarre because it was so unexpected. The market in the town is an amazing place for taking photographs. Santa Cruz is in the lowlands of Bolivia which gets far less visitors than the Altiplano, but its no less beautiful.

I was on my way back to the bus station after spending a few days here and was greeted on the road by a long parade. Mostly this seemed to consist of flag waving and shuffling about. This was largely ignored by many people around on the street, but I thought this guy holding a huge tapestry pyramid was amazing. You can read so much into his look.

Hello Andrew, I like your note very much. I was wondering were you confortable with your camara in the market? I´m in Bolivia right now, and I don´t have the courage to go the market and take pictures :[ ... About the picture I think the DOF is not good. I would liked more if the image was complete. Nice done anyway!!!
Regards,
Gabriel
