Travel Photography – Those Little Details

October was busy with lots of writing, photography and new leads underway. In a sense, it also involved re-evaluating on what level of detail I needed to work on due to deadlines and workload.

Sorting through my portfolio of travel photography, I stumbled across this picture of an old Quechua woman – one of my favorites taken in Pisac, Peru.

Besides the cultural timelessness it evokes, what struck me was the similarity between the etchings on the walls of the ruins and the age marks etched across her face.

Without her traditional attire, she could have easily blended right into the wall in a certain “oneness” with the Inca ruins and sense of history enveloping her.

Looking forward to a creative November – with a newly calibrated eye for more minute details.

  2. The near-uniform brown background of the dirt and the wall really make this photograph. Well played.
