The Locals - Punte Del Este, Uruguay

This is one of my favorites. From way back in the day, taken on a $99 point and shoot from Target... This is one of a handful of images from around this time that woke up the wannabe photographer in me.

 

Upon graduating, two of my good friends from college decided to go all expat and move to Buenos Aires, Argentina. I had the good fortune of visiting them, and during the visit they took me across the river to Punta del Este, Uruguay.

 

It was intermittently storming that night, and after the clouds broke we grabbed some cheap beers and went for a stroll along the beach. A little ways up the coast from the tourist shops and overpriced burger joints, we found a group of local children playing soccer on the beach. As I was trying to take their picture, a paddle boarder came into view...

 

Thanks for checking it out :D
