About This Blog
Luis Gomez PhotosI am a freelance photographer and photojournalist who moved to Washington, D.C., in 2003 from Caracas, Venezuela. During my 15 years as a photographer, I have traveled the world collecting images for work and pleasure. I have taken photographs throughout the Americas, Europe and Australia, focusing on cityscapes and architecture as well as the simplicity of landscapes and people.
I studied architecture at the University of Tennessee and then returned to Venezuela to earn a B.A. degree in communications from Universidad Católica Andrés Bello in Caracas.
I was a photographer and photo editor for publishing companies while doing freelance work for local and international media outlets.
I was born to a Venezuelan mother and a Belize-American father, some of my earliest memories are of hurrying through airport terminals with a camera around my neck. I was raised in Brazil and Venezuela, and I am fluent in Spanish and proficient in Portuguese.

This looks great. Joel seems to know what he is doing. What kind of building is it, and who pays for the mural?
Steffe, this mural is located on a street alley, on the side wall of a residential-retail rowhouse. It doesn't actually face the street, but if you walk or drive by you will surely see it. It is part of a project called "Afro-Colombian Mural Project". Not quite sure but I understand that the city pays for this kind of street art.
Alleys are good for this type of art, and this type of art is better than most of what ends up in contemporary art museum.
I checked your link to the old post and saw that this mural is really huge and, for what I see, well done. My compliments to Joel and to you for your beautiful photos.
Thanks, Vogon.
