Familia de Huandoval
He approached me on the street and asked “señor.. usted puede hacerme el favor de tomar una foto de mi familia?” Mister.. can you do me the favor of taking a photo of my family?
This was in Huandoval in 1979, a small isolated village in the Peruvian Andes.
I went with him in to his house and suggested them to sit down in the doorway.
When finished the man in the house thanked me in a sincere way and invited me for a
drink. There was never any desire expressed for a copy of the picture, they just seemed happy enough for having their portrait taken.
Hope they are connected to the web today and google on “Huandoval”. If someone recognize this family I would be grateful for some information.
Hey mister..
“don´t swim to far out.. there are big sharks out there” the twins told me and smiled between them.
It was mostly a friendly joke. But I knew that six months earlier sharks had killed one french man and two weeks later an english tourist not very far from this beach.
