Foto del Día: Friday Portrait Series – “Los Guaguas” Jugando y El Breaker Miguel Bailando – Quito, Ecuador

Latin America Travel Photography by Jamie Killen: El Miguel Iwias Crew Break Dance - Centro Historico - Quito, Ecuador

  Children almost always provide amazing portrait opportunities. They never hold anything back — I don’t think they know how to! — which can usually result in some real honest and authentic expression in photos. One fine september day of last year I happened to stumble upon hip hop festival called “Alfaro Vive,” a most […]

Foto del Día: Enfrentamiento Hecho Cuernazo en La Plaza de Toros – Quito, Ecuador

Foto del Día: Quilatoa Bus Travel Bliss In The Ecuadorian Andes (w/ Luís)

Latin America Travel Photography by Jamie Killen: Quilatoa and the Ecuadorian Andes

  For me, this photo screams L-I-B-E-R-T-A-D!!! I like to think it captures a certain feeling of freedom, that certain kind of slipperiness and looseness and possibility enjoyed by those who, well, like to move!  “I travel not to go anywhere, but to go. I travel for travel’s sake. The great affair is to move.” […]
