feria de antiguedades en San Telmo, Buenos Aires
Found these boys and girls exiting an antique market in San Telmo, downtown in Buenos Aires, as I was heading in. I made the mistake of forgetting people sometimes speak English in other countries, and remarked out loud, “Those kids are cool.”
And, naturally, they swung around, staring at me hard, until I explained SorryI’mNotAJerkAndIMeantIt,CanITakeYourPicture?
And then I did. They’re from New York City. I like his pleats and tapered ankles. I like her Crayola florals, and all of their sweet smiley faces, even if they were probably still leery of me.

Reporting from Buenos Aires, where I’ve been a few days now. Took as long to run into handsomely dressed Argentines, but found them in droves in Palermo Soho.
Caught at Papelera Palermo
I ran into a favorite shop of mine, la Papelera Palermo. It is an explosion of beautiful handmade papers, gift wrap, notebooks, prints and books.
And on approaching strangers to take their pictures:
It’s nice to launch into a tentative Spanish tirade about UmExcuseMeDoYouThinkICouldPhotographYou and they’re all, huh? And then we speak English. She was from Australia, and said she found her shirt at Argentine store Complot. On a scale from 1 to adorable…
More to come!
