Today I got out to go shooting photography in a part of Buenos Aires I love to take pictures. El Caminito, which is a little area within the La Boca neighborhood is the most colorful neighborhood in Buenos Aires. In many ways, it kind of has a New Orleans vibe to it. It's colorful houses with balconies, and lots of street art. El Caminito is also the most touristy place in Buenos Aires. During the day, it's lined with tourists and salsa dancers looking to make a bit of money off of photos or quick lessons.
At night though, La Boca isn't exactly safe. And, as sunset hits most people leave El Caminito. As a photographer, though, you kind of have to stick around and wait for the light.
So, I stayed at El Caminito until it was fully dark taking pictures. Last time I was in La Boca, I got a couple photos that sold, so I really wanted to go back and see if I could get a couple new shots. The thing about travel photography, is there's always a need for new versions of destinations, so even though I've been to and photographed El Caminito a couple times before, it does make sense to make another trip to La Boca to get some more shots.
I should also mention, that if you're planning on visiting El Caminito in the evening, it is fine to do so now. There used to not be a police presence here, but now, the police stay until 10pm to look after tourists, which is fantastic. So, big shout out to them for sticking around and watching over me as I shot my travel photos.
