Martin Chambi: A great Peruvian photographer

Currently in Lima there is a great exhibition of a great photographer whose work show us portraits of Andean people in the beginning of the 20th century.

When I visited the exhibition the diverse pictures or portraits touched my heart because I was looking something that maybe it is hard to see today and because I belong to that society. I felt deep emotions and I travelled in the past trying to imagine and see in my mind the gestures of those people in motion. The faces so authentic and real that it seems that they are eternal and, yes, they are eternal thanks to those unique pictures.

This is a short entry because I don´t find the words to describe my feelings. And this entry is my personal tribute to this simple but at the same time great man whose goal was to show us the feelings of his people (my people as well).
