“The man from Tres Morros” is a photography series taken in Tres Morros, Jujuy, Argentina. The northern part of Argentina. It seems like a whole different country, so different to Buenos Aires or the big argentinian cities. Not only because of the amazing landscapes and the way of life, but because of the people. I wrote this regarding my encounter with this man:
“A hidden village on the side of the road, nearly abandoned. There lived this man who looked after the empty houses of the town, along with his dog. We never knew his name, but in our conversation with him, we discovered how content and grateful he was to be there and to receive people (but only occasionally). He enjoyed the solitude, the northerly wind, the mountains with their endless colors, and the barking of his dog.
Sometimes in big cities we forget the importance of hospitality and sharing what we enjoy with others. The little things.
In Tres Morros, from the humility and simplicity in which this man and his dog lived, I was reminded not to forget to be grateful for all those things and to share them with the people we love.
