Los Porteños

The people of Buenos Aires are called porteños, or people of the port. I love los porteños, they are so open and warm, and I enjoyed conversations with almost all of the ones you see here.

en San Telmo me conocen por cantor y buen amigo.

thanks, amy! I'm definitely going through a black and white phase...and each of these people here had such hue personalities that I think they shine through the image. practice! :)

I love the faces you have captured here. The expressions, the wrinkles, the gestures. You really get a sense of life and vibrancy from them
