BA Stencils

Mi amigo Jeff Barrett has a great collection stencil photos from BA. So I´m working on my own collection and have started a second slideshow on the right. Actually, I´ve met several travelers down here who collect these things. It feels a little strange taking pictures of things people walk by without thinking about, especially when those same people can´t help but notice you taking pictures of that which they take little interest in. I´m looking forward to understanding the literal translation of some of these... For now I´ll just collect them.

Good work, my friend! You've already got a respectable little collection, it seems. And i know exactly what you mean about being viewed in the photo-act. It's a strange feeling, because you are visibly demonstrating a different set of values, or aesthetic concerns... and these things usually are kept hidden from strangers. A fascinating moment.
