Impressions from Bolivia

A roll from the altiplano — washed out, colour-shifted, and left that way.

11 frames

Shot on film and scanned as it came back — flat, washed out in the thin light of the altiplano, colour drifting somewhere between blue and nothing. Nothing here has been corrected back to normal. The bleached frames are the ones I like best.

1
Two figures welded from scrap metal standing in an empty desert plain
Giants in the flats
2
Visitors among rows of national flags on the Uyuni salt flat, bleached almost white
Flags at the salt monument
3
A single railway track running dead straight into the horizon across the altiplano
The line to the horizon
4
A loaded Land Cruiser parked on an empty plain below distant volcanoes
Somewhere past the last turn-off
5
Flamingos wading in a shallow laguna below a volcano
Flamingos, shallow water
6
A guide in a wide-brimmed hat holding up a snake in flooded grassland, sky burnt out white
Found in the pampas
7
A ruined stone arch silhouetted against a violet dusk sky
What the arch kept
8
A street corner with traffic lights, tangled overhead cables and people crossing
Corner, mid-afternoon
9
The bowl of La Paz seen from the rim, towers in shadow and the far slope lit gold
La Paz, last light
10
Sun umbrellas on a terrace above Lake Titicaca with a snow range on the far shore

Boats at a jetty on Lake Titicaca with donkeys on the shore and the Cordillera Real behind
