I met these friendly gentlemen in downtown Buenos Aires while they were sticking posters on walls in the shopping street Florida. They aroused my attention because they were working together hand in hand so well, emphasizing what teamwork is all about. Both were accurate, precise, and pretty fast. It was just half a minute and the whole wall was done. As soon as they recognize me they began to pose to give me a chance to picture them. The posters, by the way, announce a concert with Rolando Paz, "Chato" Arizmendi and Ariel Puchetta to end the year with Latin music. Well, I'm not familiar with any of these musicians but I suppose they are popular in Uruguay because it seems the event is specifically aiming at Uruguayos living in Buenos Aires. Thank you for the picture, guys!

A splash of the national colours!
Wow, that is pretty neat! Is Florida mostly a pedestrian street? These two look pretty amicable - did you tell them their photo would be blasted around the world?
Nice snap of the people in perfect teamwork. Good to see people working together.
A great scene of life from Buenos Aires. Damn, I wish I was so good at photographing people.

Un placer visitar tu blog, volveré,
Un saludo, josé luis.
Great shot and for me a great find with this blog!
My grandfather directed a film in which the lead was an "attacchino," a man who glues posters on city walls, just like in your photo. Everything's great until his bicycle gets stolen...

Hi, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. I have missed your photos. Hope everything is well.
HOLA!
LOS SEÑORES DE LAS FOTOS TRABAJABAN RAPIDO PORQUE LO QUE HACIAN NO ES LEGAL....JAJAJJA...POR ESO LA RAPIDEZ CON LA CUAL TRABAJABAN...
ME RESULTA SUMAMENTE INTERESANTE QUE ALGUIEN QUE PUEDA ELEGIR UN LUGAR EN EL MUNDO PARA VIVIR ELIJA ARGENTINA, Y ESPECIALMENTE BUENOS AIRES. ES CURIOSO E INTERESANTE.
LO QUE MAS ME LLAMO LA ATENCION SON LAS FOTOS DE LOS CHALETS, NO SE SI A LA GENTE DE BUENOS AIRES NOS LLAMA LA ATENCION.ME DI CUENTA QUE NO SOLO TE INTERESAN LOS CHALETS, SI NO LOS QUE SON "DUPLEX", DOS IGUALES, SIMETRICOS.
POR DONDE VIVO (MONTE GRANDE)HAY MUCHOS....
UN SALUDO! ROMINA.

Like Leif, I also hope that you'll come back. I keep checking the page, to see if there's something new. It's been nice coming here every day to see new photos. Hope you're doing fine.
Good workers. He through his ummm chest out for the photo, didn't he! Haha.

I'll be in BA on April 7th and then again from April 11th to 16th and I was wondering if you'd have the time and the disposition to meet me for a cup of coffee. If you'd like to, write me at Andreea@gmail.com. Regards.
Hello! I think your blog is lovely and very interesting. I hope things are going fine for you, and I hope you will be back soon :)
hey happy new year and nice photo.
Very colorful...
I really love the message you send across through your visuals on this blog. I find the "rioplatenses" very proud and accomodating people. There is a lot of wealth in terms of their culture and I am glad to see someone taking a deep interest in the overall picture. As you said yourself, "going off the tourist route". Will be following curiously after sumbling on this interesting find.
