The last set from my Buenos Aires trip last month.

Lets start with young love on the streets of the La Boca area:

Do We Work? Simon Bolivar certainly did:

The final few photographs are from an exhibition at Gallery Maman called My
Third Eye. It was by an Argentine photographic icon, Aldo Sessa, now in his
eighties. A few years ago he started photographing with an Iphone, and this
was the first show of those photographs, from New York and Buenos Aires,
and to me it was quite stunning, proving yet again that any camera in the
hands of great photographers will produce excellent results. There were
superb 30'x40' blowups from Iphone files, and it convinced me once and for
all that camera phone photography was a very valid genre, and deserves to
be taken very seriously. The first photograph is of the curator, Rosa:
