Caption: Best of
Bolivia By Brendan van Son
2015
Caption: I got back to Bolivia this year. It's my 8th time in my life, and it never gets old.
Actually, this is actually where I started my travel photography career, so it's fun to get back - even if it is only for a couple weeks.

Caption: The Cholitas of La Paz
Caption: The Cholitas - indigenous woman in La Paz - are stunning. And though they obviously make for great looking portrait subjects, they don't make it easy.
The Cholitas hate being photographed and are known to cast curses on people who take their photos without permission.

Caption: I'm not sure there's a more stunning backdrop for a city in the world than the snow-capped peak view of La Paz.
I got up to the view point above the city, at about 4000m above sea level, to shoot a couple images of the beautiful location.

Caption: Uyuni From La Paz, I caught the bus down to the dusty town of Uyuni. This is the jumping off point for the Salar de Uyuni, but I went out and shot a location called the Railroad Cemetery first.
