John Ellis says:
There is always a danger when giving an explanation (what does 'caracol' mean in English?) that the viewer instantly sees something different to what would have been the case without the text. Nonetheless, even without knowing the word snail in Spanish, the image has a roughness and colouring that befits this man on his bicycle along with his place to sleep.
John Ellis says:
This can be looked at in different ways: SP trope or social commentary. Or perhaps both. There is an added dimension in that the use of the reflected background gives an impression of heat as these people ignore the sign on the left and take their 'fag' break. The shot is unusual enough in its presentation to stand out.
John Ellis says:
Is the boy picked on by the others? Why does he have that expression and why is he unable to get up to the higher level where, presumably, there is a better view of what ever it is that is going on? The photographer is in a good position between his subjects and the object of their interest.
