Cell phones and the Internet have become a necessity for many Bolivians, and are quickly reshaping its culture in the process. This image is all about that change. This young man peeks from his hood at his phone, just before jumping onto his motorbike and riding off in a cloud of smoke. I photographed the scene in layers to build my interpretation. The silhouette of the motorbike anchors the foreground of this image, changing from black to bright red as it rises from shadow into sunlight. The curve of the bike echoes the curve of the man’s shoulders. He dominates the image from the middle layer, his thumb poised to strike home. A whitewashed wall, bearing the shadow of the ornamental tree at right, completes the image with a background layer.
