Portraits of Bolivia

These are portraits taken from all over Bolivia within the last year. Bolivia may be a poor country, but as you can see in the faces of these beautiful people, their spirit is not broken. If you enjoy this gallery, please vote. I hope a little visibility will in some small way help in the economic and spiritual development of these often marginalized people.

I can't believe I'm married to such a genius. I live amongst these same people but sometimes I forget how beautiful they are and how much I do love them. Your pictures reminded me tonight. Thank you baby. I love you.

Hi Daniel, superb gallery.

I love these types of photos. It seems that the less exposure people (subjects) have to cameras, the more photogenic they become.

I only passed through Bolivia as a backpacking tourist, but loved my time there and enjoyed speaking with the people.

Will look through the rest of your galleries this evening.

Regards,
Mark
