hidden among the foothills of our dreams,
slightly tilted and surrounded by coca leaves and cloudless skies,
a circular, wooden table welcomes the morning sunlight
as warm honey water and fresh lemons wait patiently in handleless mugs.
three off-white curtains hang beside
three square windows,
framing the paintings of a world we cannot replicate.

here are photos from week two and three in la paz. we are all starting and continuing our own individual projects within the different groups that we have met. my project focuses on teaching the art of photography to street children and lustrabotas. both groups were given disposable cameras to document their lives. with the photos we plan to create postcards and books in hopes to develop a microbusiness for them to benefit from a new creative outlet. enjoy :)
