CITY WOODS +BARRANCO

When Diego began to sing I was in complete shock. He had a voice laden with richness and pain that comes with only one genre; blues. This man began to sing the blues with all the pain and realness one would expect to hear in the very deepest parts of the North American south.

Tattoo’s allow you to express your interest and passions, they help connect us to our loved ones, or to those that we’ve lost. 

Fear and Sisterhood

We turned back around and began to walk quickly to the populated yet intimidating club.

The men that eyed us before began to yell to us audibly. It started with," un besito" which means a little kiss, then followed by asking for money.We issued a stern "Buenos Noches" and continued at a more rapid pace.
