This Bolivian TV cameraman, among the members of the media covering a fashion show on Sucre’s central plaza, is getting ready to shoot the show. But first he looks towards my own camera, while taking a last pull on his cigarette. In Bolivia, smoking at public events is still allowed, or at least tolerated. I found the scene to be incongruous, and interpret it accordingly. As a professional videographer, he does not expect to be photographed. His complex and expensive camera seems to wait patiently only inches away from his glowing cigarette. His eyes express his surprise at suddenly finding himself within the frame of another camera at such a moment. The image contrasts a personal instant of pleasure to his professional responsibilities. Meanwhile, his cigarette, camera, and tripod echo the thrusting branches of the softly focused tree in the background.
