Mini Photos Series :: Favourite Colombian Photo

I love Black & White photographs, and particularly old men portraits...

When I walked around Guacamayal there were so many people I wanted to take photos of, however out of the hundreds of photos I took, I actually took this and thought "this is one of the best shots I'll take all week"

However by the end of the week I still believed this would be my favourite and when I brought it up on my screen it remains just that...

Mini Photo Series :: Marilyn's family...

This is the second family we spent time with, Marilyn's dad was shot a number of years ago... 

Her mum works at a local Banana plantation, leaving for work at 5am and returning at 7pm... (Put a lot of perspective on my job.)

Mini Photo Series :: Rafael's family...

Whilst we were in Guacamaya we had the opportunity to spend time with 3 local families.

This is a selection of photos that reflect one of the families, that of Rafael. The boy in the jungle who is learning how to play the violin...

Kids are kids... No matter where they live...

One day we watched this little girl, Danna, play with her teddy and doll...

Stuck in the middle of the jungle and surrounded by mud she played away just like a normal child, yet in very different settings to what my boys live in.
