De Pavones

Another image from the series. This is someone's driveway... as seen from the main road. I was interested in the light, but now I wish I would've included a figure in the space. It's still an interesting space, but I'm not sure that it's a keeper.

A doorway to the church into Punta Banco... a town at the end of the main road, south of Pavones.

Don Ricardio. His family has lived in the area for a very long time. I've photographed him previously. He donated land for a new school that was built recently. In this picture, he leans on my sister's truck, as he tells stories.

This is a shed that is on the grounds of the new school. I loved the way the chickens were strutting around.

Both of the above photographs were taken during a soccer game in town.

New Year's Day at Rio Claro. This is where the river flows into the ocean. It created a little pool that was great for kids to swim in. I've never seen this many people at the point before. All the locals came out to celebrate the holiday.

Chele. He's a mechanic. I talked to him for quite awhile and found myself understanding most of what he said... kind of a break through in my Spanish listening skills.

Surfboard locker. I love the traces of care that went into creating the locker, and also the traces of wear that have come from years of use.
