In my editing of both of these pelican photos, I was striving for a painterly quality.
Google ‘Villa Salvador” in Lima, Peru, for the fascinating story behind this picture. It was taken in their communal kitchen, used to feed those without jobs for a a limited period while they search for employment.
“Found Still-life” Lima, Peru.
