Sorry for the caps! THESE IMAGES WERE TAKEN OUTSIDE THE WALLED CITY OF CARTAGENA COLOMBIA THAT MARQUEZ WROTE SO BEAUTIFULLY ABOUT THROUGHOUT HIS LONG MARVELOUS CAREER. PART TRAVELOGUE AND PART ARTISTIC DOCUMENTARY, THIS BEAUTIFUL WORK WAS TAKEN WHEN I LIVED IN THIS GORGEOUS NEIGHBORHOOD AND PHOTOGRAPHED ALL MY FRIEND’S AND NEIGHBOR’S AND ALL MY FRIEND’S CHILDREN WOULD HOP IN FRONT OF MY CAMERA EVERY TIME THEY SAW ME AS THEY LOVED POSING AND HAVING THEIR PICTURE’S TAKEN. THIS WAS A SPECTACULAR EXPERIENCE AND I LOVED THE KIND AND WARM PEOPLE OF COLOMBIA AND I COULD LIVE THEIR PERMANENTLY IN A HEARTBEAT IF I HAD THE CHANCE! THIS WORK IS MY GIFT TO MY FRIEND’S AND NEIGHBOR’S AND PASSERBY’S IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD THAT GABRIELLE GARCIA MARQUEZ MADE FAMOUS IN HIS SEMINAL BOOKS. HE OFTEN SAT IN THE SAME PLAZA EVERYDAY BY HIS HOME WHICH I PASSED BY FREQUENTLY ON MY WALKS ALWAYS HOPING TO GET A GLANCE OF HIM!
