I had seen Fernando that afternoon, i was walking through a bazaar that is placed every weekend outside the psicology faculty of the state university. Because of it's size his stand can go unnoticed, but definitely not him. I would have photograph him before but every time i pass there he had customers. I pass one last time before heading home, he had none. When i talked with him, i was expecting that he gave me a other than his real name, but no, "my name is Fernando". He has been working there over a year and a half where he sells small hats and other things. Regarding his characterization, inspired by the mad hatter but without make up, giving it his personal touch with the glasses created by himself, although he told me that costume it wasn't complete that day. I had to be as fast as possible to take his pictures so he could attend the people who approached his stand. I took a few with his hat on, but beacuse of the hurry the didn't turn out as good as this one. --------------------------------------------------- Ya había visto a Fernando antes aquella tarde, estaba caminando por un bazar que se pone cada fin de semana afuera de la facultad de psicología, por su tamaño su puesto pasaba desapercibido, pero definitivamente él no. Lo hubiera fotografiado antes pero cuando pasaba tenía muchos clientes. Antes de regresar a casa pasé una última vez por ahí y no tenía ninguno. Cuando hablé con él, esperaba que me diera un nombre diferente al verdadero, pero no, "me llamo Fernando". Lleva trabajando en ese lugar desde hace año y medio donde vende sombreros pequeños y otras cosas. En cuanto a su caracterización, inspirada en el sombrerero loco pero sin el maquillaje, dandole su propio toque con los lentes que él mismo creo, aunque me dijo que el disfraz no estaba completo aquel día. Tuve que ser lo más rápido posible para tomarle las fotos para que él pudiera atender a las personas que se acercaban a su puesto. Le tomé unas cuantas con el sombrero puesto, pero por las prisas no salieron tan bien como ésta. This picture is #50 in my 100 strangers project.
