Vias Bolivia

Not far from Sucre, at the entrance of the road to Tarabuco, we stopped near a road toll. The scene of a tollbooth attendant who sleeps next to a Bolivian woman selling soft drinks makes me jump out of my car to capture the curious atmosphere of the place and of the moment. The intensity of the peddler gaze and the depth of the tollbooth attendant slumber give the image an almost surreal atmosphere. After having taken the photo I went away while the man was still asleep.
