Smoky street, Cuenca, Ecuador, 2011

I made this picture through the front window of a bus as it moved through the streets of Cuenca. In neighborhoods such as this one, street food is cooked on the sidewalks, creating a smoke-laden atmosphere at certain times of the day. I liked the way people are moving through the smoke – the smell is tantalizing. The focal point of the image are the silhouetted people clustered around the food itself – they seem to be either making or buying a meal, or perhaps both.

My goal in life has been, and always will be, to be a "great teacher," Raf. I make these photographs as a means of teaching how and why I see as I do. If I am worthy of such praise, I will take it as validation of my approach to image making. Many thanks for your kind words.
