365 templeman

right now i should be making plans to decide where i want to go next. i'm still in pucon and have put aside this day as my planning and researching time. trouble is, i'm no good at planning and research. and even if it's planning to go somewhere really cool, it still seems like a chore to look in guidebooks and browse online. it always helps when you have someone else to share (or takeover) that side of things, but i said goodbye to the last of my current travel buddys this morning so now it's all on me. as a result i've resorted to pissing about with photos instead of looking at lonely planets. this one was taken on new years eve in valparaiso - somewhere inbetween the nose ring and the fireworks.

here's the original

I really love this photo - the composition, the colours, the situation. You can really imagine the story line. Had the guy been knocking for ages before he noticed the "we've left home" notice on the wall?!

i just stopped quickly to snap this before walking on, but i did see an old lady open a window above and shout some spanish to him - probably along the lines of "yeah... they're not home." that would probably have been a more interesting shot - but unfortunately i couldn't get further back with my 50mm lens
