I took these photos in Tupiza, Bolivia during a worker's strike that effectively closed all the roads and highways in the country. Needless to say, I ended up spending much more time in this little town than I had initially anticipated. This woman was sitting outside her home watching the strikers protest in the streets and blockade the roads. She is wearing a traditional Bolivian dress with a brown hat, red sweater and shawl, and a blue and white checkered blanket over her legs. I found the juxtaposition of her sitting in the doorway, the graffiti on the wall, and the railroad tracks in front of her home to be really interesting.
