Street Photography

Through these images I’m trying to take the chaos of the streets in Caracas.

I wanted to document the average anonymous people on the streets. A particular group that caught my attention was the street vendors who took over boulevards to set up stands where they sell everything that you can imagine, from cellphones to lingerie. These alternative stores are a problem for the “real stores” and  for the circulation of cars and pedestrians around various areas in the city. People complain about these street vendors, but they also give them a lot of business.
