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.

Well that's taking quite a long time to accomplish and I appear to be getting better with my photograph taking skills since I have less missed shots ;)

One of the reasons for my delay on processing the photos is because I've been busy setting up my file server, if you've been following this blog you might have noticed my posts on OpenFiler, but I've taken some time to continue processing the photos.

This isn't the plane we took…well because if it was then I would have missed it…but the shot is one of my favorites

I don't have a tilt/shift lens so I used the f/zero from Boutwell's Totally Rad Actions to accomplish this effect

Look at the little people…hehe
