Latin America Travel Photography by Jamie Killen: Quito, Ecuador

    Ooooooooooo — Que Dolor!!! Just looking at the way el Torero has fallen — directly onto his neck and head — brings me thoughts of great pain and anguish. I guess that’s what he gets for challenging a beast of beasts – El Gran Toro — to “una corrida” or bullfight. And this […]
