El Encargado

1999encargado
I'm in California right now for a long overdue visit home to see family. I don't to bore you with shots of my nephew so I've dug way back into the archives to pull up some photos from the last milenium and the first time I lived in Buenos Aires. In the photo above appears the encargado of the my first building on Uriburu. I remember we exchanged some harsh words over the installation of my AC but I'm sure I was less trouble for him than the Brazilian transsexual escort who lived upstairs from me.

I recognize him. Was this the building where I tried to pee off the roof? And he thought Brazilian trannies were trouble!

hahahaha Brazilian transsexual escorts can be such a problem!
The portrait is really very good. B&W is very nicely done. You've really captured character in him.

Jesse-- the "near piss" incident happened at my second apartment. This was my first apartment. You came over once for a photo shoot. I believe I scanned the photos and I've got them somewhere. I'll keep them for blackmail...
