What's Hot on A Holy Day
This is where I decided to be instead of dealing with all the tourist racing to Machu Picchu.
I found out about San Sebastian festival. A festival for the people. I counted in the entire day only five westerners, and I was one. There are other San Sebastian festivals structured for tourist in other places.
To them I was invisible and forgotten as a tourist with a camera. I got to encounter many different parts of the culture all humanistic dealing with how they perceive religion, and the west as found in the dance performer's covered book. I obviously cloned out any offensive parts that would lead this image to being adult content.
It is my intent to keep it funny in an organic sense of the cast and characters that thought of it.
With the man's open smile and the grin , and the other person's radiant face sharing a moment on this holy day around the church grounds during a ten mile circular walk.
One can only figure that this image is also someway in line of the ridicules humor thought of the western world to the Spanish Conquistadors of yesterday dealing with the Inca culture which was very open to it's sexual side found in it's art work before western culture a contrast as in open sex being wrong.
As for me the street photographer capturing all sides of humanistic life. This unexpected moment amongst open people has been a true jewel to capture. I feel it will last the test of time.
