Street Photography nominee

This photograph was shot in Buenaventura, a coastal city and the main port of Colombia in the Pacific Ocean. Although the port accounts for more than 50% of Colombian trade, most of the population is affected by a very high level of poverty. Many stories are told in one single image. Feelings of frustration, indifference, preoccupation, boredom. People disconnected from each other.
