Plaza de la Constitución – Huancayo, Peru

I feel bad for our North American pigeons sometimes.  Well not that often. Not when they are trying to steal my food at Granville Island. But man do those South American pigeons have it good with their beautiful town Plazas to hang out it at, where people feed them all day long. These photos really take me back to another man who fed pigeons that I photographed in Leon, Nicaragua this spring. It still pains me to think about the fact that those rolls of Tri-X I shot on my Hasselblad are probably rotting, undeveloped, in a dump in Managua somewhere. Losing three months worth of work that you love is a feeling I can’t quite relate to anything else.
