Benchwarmers, Sucre, Bolivia, 2014

Sucre’s historic central plaza draws dozens of bench-sitters, particularly on weekends. In this image, I found a group of older adults sitting at right angles to the group of softly focused teenagers in the background. Neither population acknowledges each other’s presence. There are considerable contrasts among the three elders as well. The gentleman in old fedora, dressed in a suit, sits calmly with his hands in his lap, while the man next to him delivers a lusty yawn. The man wearing the blue hat has just taken his seat, and is still adjusting to those slats. Meanwhile, the teenagers in the rear seem off in a world of their own. There are many ways to interpret a scene such as this. I chose to express a series of contrasts that speak to the great variety of people who use and enjoy this plaza.
