A photoblog with large images of Buenos Aires - Active 2008 - 2011

My Buenos Aires: Weird Architecture, Graffiti, Gigantografias & Ford Falcons

It's been a couple of weeks since I've taken a good walk around some random neighborhood in Buenos Aires. These are a few miscellaneous images from my trip a walk a couple of weeks ago:

GigantografiaGraffiti-3143
I don't like this photo above but it represents a certain visual style that's inescapable here; the large printed signs that cover most facades and fill up the city's visual space with their bright colors and home-grown designs. Then also the graffiti too.

VilladelparqueFalcon-3150
I like to say I'm anti-nostalgic in my photography. I hate all those photos of Cuba with the old American cars. But I can't help myself. I'm a sucker for Ford Falcons.

InvertedPyramid-3138
And more weird architecture. This looks like a house on top of a warehouse. It reminded me a little of the Boston City Hall.
