Para Llevar


For those who haven't asked for a doggie bag in Spanish, "para llevar" means to carry or take away. Sylvie, my brother and I had just emerged from a gallery in Guanajuato and I literally did a double-take when I caught a glimpse of this scene. A more obvious photo op I've never seen. Guanajuato is a photographer's delight given the architecture and the colors, and I thought the green in the painting was accentuated nicely by the paler green in the wall beyond it. But mostly the Sunday stroll pace of the gent, the jaunty angle of his Panama, and the casual perching of the painting really got me. Canon 40D with 24-105mm f/4, shot at f/6.3 and 1/200 sec.
