Photographer’s Note
La Boca quartier is a little native place of the Tango music in Buenos Aires area. Wandering for the narrow streets of La Boca I saw a a piece of gym shoes on the window. I liked the view then shoot.
La Boca is a neighborhood, or barrio of the Argentine capital, Buenos Aires. It retains a strong European flavour, with many of its early settlers being from the Italian city of Genoa. In fact the name has a strong assonance with the genoese neighborhood of Boccadasse (or Bocadaze in genoese dialect), and some people also affirms that the Buenos Aires' barrio was indeed named after it. After a lengthy general strike, La Boca seceded from Argentina in 1882, and the rebels raised the Genoese flag, which was immediately torn down personally by then President Julio Argentino Roca. It is known throughout the sporting world as the home of Boca Juniors, one of South America's top football clubs.
La Boca is a popular destination for tourists visiting Argentina, with its colourful houses and main street, the Caminito. Other attractions include the La Ribera theatre, many tango clubs and Italian taverns, as well as La Bombonera, home of Boca Juniors.
It has also been a centre for radical politics, having elected the first socialist member of Argentine Congress (Alfredo Palacios in 1935) and been home to many demonstrations during the crisis of 2001.
As one of Buenos Aires's 47 barrios, La Boca is located in the city's south-east near its port. The barrio of Barracas is to the west; San Telmo and Puerto Madero are to the north.

Merhaba,
Enfes bir grafik... renk uyumları, kontrastlar harika... 11 yıl öncesinden bu güne çok temiz ve iyi taşınmış... renklerde dia farkı ve kalitesi çok bariz belli... bakış açısı ve tabii ki penceredeki ayakkabılar da çok güzel... tebrikler...

Hi Ihsan, the colours in this shot and all the different geometric lines in the building make this an interesting shot, especially when contrasted with the small non-geometric elemets, the shoes. Not sure it if was intentional, but the border is not even. I'd be interested to know more about this shot - was it digital or film, and if film which? cheers, Steve

Hi Ihsan,
A really great shot! Colours, buildings, framing and of course shoes make a wonderful compo.
Amicalement, Jean-Guillaume.
