Image Description: That afternoon in the main plaza there was an event to celebrate the youth international day or something like that. There were a lot of interesting people to photograph, but all my candidates were busy doing their part for the event. I walked for a while and saw Benjamin on a bench, from the distance he looked like a normal kid, but when i walked in front of him i saw his hair, i had to photograph him. I was really straightforward and asked why purple and got a very direct answer, just because. Then i asked if his parents had any problem dyeing his hair with that color, no problem, he said.
Aquella tarde en el zócalo había un evento para celebrar el día internacional de la juventud o algo así. Había mucha gente interesante que fotografiar, pero todos mis candidatos para el proyecto estaban ocupados haciendo su parte para el evento. Caminé un rato y vi a Benjamin en una banca, de lejos me parecio un chavo normal, pero cuando pase frente a él vi su cabello, había que fotografiarlo. Con él fuí muy directo y le pregunté por qué de morado y recibí una respuesta igual de directa, nada más porque si. Le pregunte si sus papás tuvieron algun problema con que se tiñiera el cabello de ese color, ningun problema, me dijo.
