1961 BOLIVIA An Aymara woman sitting on the steps of the Catedral Basilica Menor de Nuestra Senora de la Paz (Metropolitan Cathedral of La Paz). The Cathedral was reconstructed in 1835 but not completed until 1989. The Cross in the background bears the inscription 'Pax', dates from 1957 and celebrates Peace.

Camera Leica lll F with a collapsible Leitz f 5 cm 1:3.5 lens. Film Plus X Pan at F5.6 - 1/100 second. My film was cut from bulk rolls and loaded in a re-loadable leica cassette. It was a convenient low cost way of carrying film but not ideal. The film had to be loaded in the dark and static electricity always attracted dust which shows on the negative. Developed by hand in La Paz using May and Baker Promicrol at normal dilution.
