Impromptu Photo Shoot. San Jose, Costa Rica. August 2010.
A friend and I were exploring the local university when we noticed a large group of people gathering for what seemed like a protest or demonstration. Come to find out, the students and professors were protesting the government's decision to cut back in the school's funding. Seeing how we were foreigners with large cameras, we decided to play the 'press' card. It worked. People would pose for photos gladly and we were able to interact with a lot of them. As we were walking along the sidewalk of the march, we ran into this gentlemen, who we began to engage in further conversation. Seeing he had a tattoo, I asked him about it and commented on the detail. I mentioned I wanted to photograph it and he took the liberty to take off his shirts to show the rest of them. Thus began the impromptu photo shoot, which seemed like the only natural choice at this point. These are the result.
