The Studio

20080829-IMG_8942

I visited Mr. Romero's studio today. A lot of press photographers have hobbies on the side. Mr. Romero is an artist. He primarily paints, but he also likes to make collage-type pieces. His studio is filled with "junk" he found and things people gave him, as well as an amazing assortment of photographs and drawings. It's the type of place where you can look around for hours, constantly finding new, interesting things to investigate.

On the left, one of Mr. Romero's friends in the building. He's a master carpenter. He was talking about when he went to a leper colony. "...And you don't take cameras there," he told me. "Not because they're not allowed, but it's just something you don't take photos of."
