Gente II

Today was a chilly, drizzly Sunday but I had to get out of the apartment.  I have been working Saturdays tutoring a friend of mine, which means my weekends can feel rather short.  Today the prospect of spending the day at home felt less than appealing, so we bundled up and took the train downtown to the weekend market in San Telmo.  Even though I really like the neighborhood we live in, it felt good to get out of Caballito.  It wasn't raining very hard so vendors simply set up makeshift tents and market day went on as usual.  We took the Pentax with us and I managed to capture a few nice shots of people enjoying a rainy Sunday afternoon.

"Bottles"

 

 

 I am going to write a separate blog explaining what these colorful bottles are all about...

"Hiding from the Rain"

"Kermits for Sale"

 

 

 

 

 

 

"Character"  

"3D"

 

 

This man was selling "3D" photography.  Photographs that had been mounted inside a wooden box, so the pictures sorta "popped out" at you.

"Baby Steps"

"The Singer"

For a mere five pesos, this man picked up his guitar and serenaded the crowd with a sweet Spanish song.  To the left you can see a photograph of him looking younger but not any less enchanting.
