My K1000
I began taking photographs in the late 1980s as a teenager when my dad bought me a Pentax K1000. Both my dad and grandpa enjoyed photography, were big influences on me, and my dad wanted to share the excitement of photography.

El Parque Nacional
I met Andrés and his buddies at Bogotá's most iconic park, el Parque Nacional.
