Found negatives on carrera 14 (Caracas), Bogota

Maia found some 120 negatives literally on the sidewalk on the Caracas in Bogota. We looked at them and realized they were from the 1950s and 60s and went back the next day and picked up a whole lot more of them, now pretty badly scratched, but still amazing. I think the photographer must have been a journalist. The pictures are so great, and some of them so abstract. I will post a few now, and figure out some way to show a lot of them. I wish there was a way I could find out who took these and how they ended up in the gutter. Check out the rest of them here.
