Heading to Brazil via Paraguay

It’s now time to leave Bolivia, and a busy time it certainly has been.

After shooting Oruro Carnival for Bizarre magazine, they asked me to shoot 2 more assignments – one about the mines in Potosi and the other about the Lucha Libre wrestling, which includes Cholitas (women in traditional Bolivian dress). Two very different subjects to shoot, and both equally interesting in different ways.

All this commissioned work meant unfortunately I didn’t have time to revisit the Lustrabotas.

I am now heading to Brazil to work on a personal assignment, more details soon.
