Streetstudio™ Caracas
When you drop into a city you've never been in before it's good to have some friends with a car. It's even better to have friends with time on their hands and an interest in your streetstudio. That's what I have here in Caracas, Venezuela. After one false start in a more buttoned-up neighborhood, the four of us set out for the district know as Bellas Artes and set up right by the subway entrance under a perfect high roof with near perfect light. I didn't need to add the roof onto the studio because of the existing structure and the overcast skies made the positioning so much easier. We found a great spot with plenty of foot traffic and an art-friendly crowd.
Once set up the process went smoothly and without incident. A downpour finally sent us packing but not before having shot plenty of folks. From street performers and ice cream vendors to business people, children and lots in between, the hours we spent lived up to the streetstudio vibe I mentioned in my last post. In terms of subject matter, if something is missing it's probably the more well-to-do crowd and women with breast implants.
I am not kidding when I tell you that this city's richer areas are absolutely overrun with surgically enhanced cleavage. I had heard about it but didn't really believe it. I have never seen anything like it. If I have the time, I'd love to get that to come across in the photographs. Since the streetstudio is based on random encounters I can't make any promises. It's just so wacky I'd like to try. Please don't take this the wrong way ladies. I'm being completely objective. It's nuts.
I'll put all the pictures from Bellas Artes up shortly. I told everyone to check for themselves in two weeks so the pressure is on.
Take pictures.
