Foto del Día: Una Oda al “Llapingacho” – Traditional Cuisine from the Ecuadorian Highlands

Latin America Travel Photography by Jamie Killen: Comidas Tipicas Ecuador Traditional Cuisine

Just a little Photo-Ode to probably what is one of the greatest “comidas típicas” (traditional foods) of the Americas, namely the highland regions of Ecuador — “El llapingacho:” Fried mashed potato pancakes stuffed with cheese (Se me hace agua la boca!!! It makes my mouth water!!!) A typical plate of Llapingacho is usually served with: Chorizo […]

Foto del Día: Origins of “El Dorado” – Ancient Artworks and Pre-Hispanic Gold at El Museo del Oro (Bogotá, Colombia)

Latin America Travel Photography by Jamie Killen: El museo del Oro and prehispanic gold Bogota

  Word around the campfire is that the legend of “El Dorado,” what was believed by many conquistadores and explorers to be a lost city and vast kingdom of GOLD in the “New World” — has its origins in what is now modern day Colombia. Legend has it (depicted in the second photo above) that when the […]

Foto del Día: Sunset on the Colombian Caribbean (w Tessa Beligue)

Latin America Travel Photography by Jamie Killen: Sunset Colombian Caribbean - Cartagena, Santa Marta, Costeño Beach

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”  – Mark Twain Just a quick quote and snap of my dear […]

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 […]

This sequence was captured of a trumpet player who blew his horn for all of Cartagena to hear from up top El Castillo de San Felipe de Barajas– an enormous Spanish fortress originally built in the 1600’s to protect the famous […]

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.” […]
