Foto del Día: Una Oda a La Querida Vecina — El Barrio de Kennedy en Bogotá, Colombia

Latin America Travel Photography by Jamie Killen: El Barrio de Kennedy, Bogotá, Colombia

  Foto-Homenaje (Homage) to mi querida vecina:  my most lovely neighborhood vendedora de frutas y verduras who for the 2+ months that I spent living in Bogotá in 2012 never once failed to saludarme (to greet) each morning with a big smile and a bag full of sweet, delicious, golden “abanitos” or little bananas…

Foto del Día: Buscando Luz en La Catedral de Sal – Zipaquirá, Colombia

Latin America Travel Photography by Jamie Killen: Catedral de Sal, Zipaquirá, Colombia

  Just a few images from La Catedral de Sal de Zipaquirá, Colombia – a giant roman catholic church built within the tunnels of a salt mine over 2oo meters underground. Amazing shadows. Amazing textures. Very fun to photograph.

Latin America Travel Photography by Jamie Killen: Huila, Colombia

    Sometimes it can be so much fun to get lost walkin’ ’round the countrysides of unfamiliar places… And stop for a chat and snap with curious cows in los campos de Huila, Colombia. Este Amor No Tiene Fin.

Foto del Día: Friday Portrait Series – El Trompista de Cartagena de Indias, Colombia

Latin America Travel Photography by Jamie Killen: Cartagena de Indias, Colombia y El Castillo de San Felipe

      I love shooting portraits. People always make for interesting and dynamic photos. 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: Enfrentamiento Hecho Cuernazo en La Plaza de Toros – Quito, Ecuador

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 […]

Foto del Día: Excuse Me While I Kiss The Sky – Parapente en San Gil, Colombia

Latin America Travel Photography by Jamie Killen: El Cañon de Chicamocha, Colombia

  Here are some snaps from my first ever trip to Colombia way back in 2010. I remember hearing tale among other travelers of an extreme sports paradise ’round Santander, Colombia, and that it was based out of a small city called San Gil. There you could go hiking, white water rafting, cave exploring and even […]

Foto del Día: Challenging Gravity at La Mitad del Mundo (w/Clara)

Latin America Travel Photography by Jamie Killen: La Mitad del Mundo, Pichincha, Ecuador

    Due to certain phenomena that occurs along the line that divides the northern and southern hemisphere (a.k.a the Equator) gravity can actually help you balance an egg — stand it straight up — over the head of a nail, as the yolk is being pulled straight down towards the center of the Equator. […]

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.” […]
