Random Photos

Some random photos from my trip:

Bolivia

Southwest Bolivia

Sand boarding south of Antofagasta, Chile

An example of the problem with my camera. The blown out white strip on the left is present in all photos except those taken at night with a slow shutter speed. It forces all photo to be cropped down or made into panoramas, like the ones above and below.

There are thousands of stray dogs roaming the streets throughout many countries in South America. They were always present during my trip from Lima all the way through Bolivia and into Chile. They are largely ignored by most people and never seem to be talked about. I find this minority population fascinating. They hang out in the same places people do. On the beaches, in the markets, in plazas and main streets throughout cities and towns. Most are friendly and some will follow you for hours hoping for food, but also looking for company. A significant number are malnourished, have diseases, injuries and other ailments. Dogs in major cities have better chances of survival, but those in small towns or seasonal tourist areas struggle in the off seasons. I photographed dozens of dogs during my trip and soon will release a portfolio of the best images.
