I swear I like other photographers! I really do. Tomas Munita isn’t even one of my favorites....although...he’s certainly a good photojournalist. On his website, his photos are grouped by assignment (Syria, Rohingya, Cuba, etc.).
Here’s the best one: PATAGONIA
Check out the first picture, at least. Such a spectacular shot...how did he manage that POV? AND...the one with the guy with the bloody hand and the slaughtered guanaco at his feet and his three dogs surrounding him. Wow. Posed or not? AND...look into the eye of that feral bull that’s being tied between the trees. AND...the shot of the guy on the snowy mountain with his 6 dogs and the bloody paw prints is so beautiful and perfectly composed. AND...what a gorgeous shot in the green room, of the fat guy lighting his cigarette. AND...the one of the bagualeros at their camp amazingly captures the smoke in the “panes” of light.
AND...really...they’re ALL good. I guess the assignment was to convey a glimpse into the rugged life (where there’s no electricity) of these cowboys/gauchos/bagualeros. They certainly make for a good subject but Patagonia itself, makes an even better one, IMO. I had to look at a map to find it...on the southern tip of South America, between Argentina and Chile with the Pacific Ocean on one side and the Atlantic on the other. Some say, it’s “the end of the world.” There are snowy mountains, icy fjords, dense forests, volcanos and lagoons, and wide-open fields and pastures. It’s obviously desolate and harsh, but is also devastatingly beautiful. I don’t know...it’s devastating ME for some reason...and once again, these pictures (HIS pictures) have gotten under my skin...
