Peru Bus: praise of despair

For: Diego Cobo (text and photos)

Harlem: one night with Marjorie
For: Diego Cobo (text and photos)

The first time he threw the door in my face. The second, whispered a friendly "come in". The third began to caress the piano. Marjorie Elliot doesn't like to be disturbed in her work time, that seems to swell just before each performance.

Valley of the Sugar Mills: Scars sugar
For: Diego Cobo (text and photos)

This valley is the symbol of the glorious heyday of the sugar industry. Located around the city of Trinidad, this immense plain of more than 200 square kilometers is no longer upholstered by sugar cane fields, But references from that past are kept alive.
