Mockus by Manuela Garcia


Ten years ago

My children Manuela and Tomás were born and raised in the studio in Bogotá.
They used to play ball against the walls, skate over the white floor and sometimes I would find giant colorful crayola drawings all over the walls (including racetracks for their toy cars).
They walked in and out of my photo shoots as they pleased because the studio was their home.
Once during a photo shoot with Bogota's Mayor Antanas Mockus, I had to leave the set for a moment to answer a phone call and Manuela decided to take her own pictures of him.
I think it was the first time, of many, that she did not agree with my point of view as a photographer.

Mis hijos Manuel y Tomas nacieron y crecieron en el estudio de Bogota. Solian jugar pelota contra los sin fines,patinar en el piso blanco, y a veces encontraba dibujos gigantes con crayolas en las paredes o pistas para carritos de juguete pintadas en el piso etc.
Ellos entraban y salian cuando querian, de las seciones de fotos en que yo trabajaba, por que estaban en su casa, o solo observaban desde lejos.
