Thanks for the nice comments folks.
The powerful effect of des-contextualization
the kids are fighting for a... piñata, yes. One of my favorite pictures of william eggleston is one of a black and a white man standing close to a car, the men seem to be related to each other and doing just nothing. I always wondered how eggleston had accomplished that picture, as they did not seem to care about the photographer and there was no way for the photographer to sneak into the scene. Some time later I read that the white man was Eggleston`s uncle and the black man was his helper, they were attending a relative´s funeral. I guess a significant number of ¨famous¨ shots are of relatives and friends of the photographer.
The second shot is about a neo hippie small festival, ¨homage to mother earth¨ that I attended together with my family and friends, some place in the mountains. I live in a small seaside town far away from cities, which I is where I like the most to photograph (street photography), so I try to be as active as possible and incentive myself to shoot as much as possible (as I guess we all do
).
