These photographs explore the varied landscapes of Colombia - from snow-capped Andean peaks to equatorial rain forests, from fertile fields to parched desert, from the golden sands of the Pacific coast to the beaches of the Caribbean Sea - and portray the daily life of the country's inhabitants.
These photographs explore the varied landscapes of Colombia - from snow-capped Andean peaks to equatorial rain forests, from fertile fields to parched desert, from the golden sands of the Pacific coast to the beaches of the Caribbean sea. The photographs also portray the daily life of the country's inhabitants - a Wayu Indian woman drying salt in the arid Guajira Peninsula, men of African descent mining for gold deep within the Amazon rain forest, a man of Spanish descent going to market with a stack of handmade hats, an elderly woman spinning wool, children helping out with the family chores. In his introduction, Colombian author, Juan Carlos Botero, writes: "...in the abstract the country has no reality. It does in the particular, however, where it exists as a set of images that we treasure in our hearts and that embody our deepest feelings about a place we knew as children."
