Cross your fingers, here are mine.

    Simon-

    I don’t know if you remember me but I’m one of your loyal reader to your blog! Finally- I got back to your site after months and months of heavy workload in college! Your work has not cease to amaze me, here are several things I want to express.

    1) I love the torno picture- the guys’s face says it all! The color of building surround blends in with the illustration of the photography!
    2) Parque picture- the color of the sky is very VIBRANT and BEAUTIFUL, in my opinion I think you shouldn’t change it to black and white 😀
    3) Las-aguas- wonderful capture, it looks great- many things in a picture like saying that there’s a thousand words out in the picture! The colors are a WOW too!
    4) Iglesia- it reminds me of Europe in a way, it looks very lovely and romantic in a way
    5) Guadalupe- I MUST say that this picture is far the most POWERFUL picture, when you mix religion symbolic with nature- BOOM! I can’t stop staring at the picture.
    6) Graffit- what can get better- photographing the art work, Its cool to see someone walking by wearing yellow which leaves in some ghostly figure in the pic!
    7) Bicis- the picture looks busy but ORGANIZED and neatly taken for some reason, I think its because the lady was wearing black which made the picture a lot more sharper.
    8) Amor- what can get better than this picture? I kinda of wished that you captured the couple kissing!
    9) aguacas- My favoooooorittttteeeee fruit! And especially when its made into a guacamole dip- so gooood!
    10) De-julio believer- like I said earlier, religion is powerful!

    Ok that’s not few things, that’s actually ten things! Haha I better shut up!

    By the way do you have a facebook account?

    Simon!

    Kannst du noch Deutsch :)?
    Ich bin hier immer wieder mal und es ist ziemlich cool, von dir zu lesen. Auch die Fotos sind saugeil. Eines Tages bin ich auch mal in Kolumbien.

    El hombre del aguacate es maravilloso! Radical “Parkour” dudes, too. Kara shared this with me! Also, thanks for letting me use your boots, man. Maybe we’ll meet someday! Paz y aventuras – AT
