Pollo, Flickr, and Fun

During my time in Argentina, I was extremely fortunate to have met
Pollo.  Pollo is a photographer that I've been following on Flickr for
many months.  I love his photography.  It's simple, sensual, sexy, and
sublime.  I must admit, I was a bit jealous of this unknown person - all
I knew of him was that he was photographing a plethora of beautiful
girls, and he was damn good at it.

Beyond this, I didn't know much of anything about him.  I knew he
lived in Argentina, but I had no idea where.  I didn't know how old
he was, what he looked like... I didn't even know if he was a nice person.

I decided to take a chance and email him.  I sent him a quick note,
asking him if he knew of any photographic opportunities I could get
involved with in Argentina.  To my surprise, he responded not only
with an invitation to visit him in his hometown of Neuquen, (which was
en route to my next destination) but he also offered to set up a photo
shoot with two girls he was friendly with for the day I would visit.

My time with Pollo was absolutely great.  He was not only a fantastic
photographer, but an outstanding human being.  He and his wonderful
family treated me like one of their own during my stay with them.  I
can't thank them enough for their generosity and kindness.

The following photos are from my shoot with Pollo and our fantastic and
beautiful models, Caro and Anna.

Thanks again to Caro and Anna for being so open-minded and willing to
be our muses for the afternoon.  Next time, I promise I'll speak only in
Spanish.  That would make Caro happy, I think.  :-)




Thank heaven for hot days and beautiful girls
