I was the leader for Costa Rica in the Scott Kelby’s World Wide Photowalk that happened on July 24th and I planned for this instance to visit the “Plaza de la Cultura” in San Jose. This boulevard is pretty much the heart of San Jose as it’s the one that sees the most people walking by any given day.

During the weekends and holidays there are street performers and clowns entertaining people as they walk by and daily you see a lot of people selling from cheap toys to pirated DVDs to leather belts and wallets to original audio CDs to paintings, most of which are done right there on the boulevard, and these are people that usually come from other countries to make a living out of selling these things because they can’t find other jobs.

The photo above was taken around the Melico Salazar theater and it’s the area where the most street performers gather.

Recently I had the opportunity to meet up with Bet-Shalom, which is a Costa Rican reggae roots band, and attend one of their concerts that took place in San Jose, the capital of Costa Rica, as part of the “Fiesta de la Musica” that was organized and included several concerts throughout the big cities in Costa Rica.

Earlier that day we had a portrait session for the whole group and I also took the chance to take photos of them during the concert they had that day. Despite the great amount of rain that fell that afternoon there was quite a crowd that came to the concert.

This past Saturday the company I work for took a large group of volunteers to plant a couple 100 trees and to also fertilize the trees that had been planted last year. I took the time to capture a couple of photos from that trip

Last Sunday was a catholic holiday and it’s often celebrated by a procession on the streets of the cities in Costa Rica. Aunts from Poas invited us to attend the event in their city, given the fact that we are originally from Poas, and I took the chance to capture a couple of moments from this event.

This is an event that attracts a lot of followers of the Catholic religion.
