last year i met a group of journalists inside a mine in potosi who worked for an english langage magazine - bolivian express - in la paz. i hung out with them for a few days when i made it to the bolivian capital, one thing led to another and some of my photos were published in their latest issue. which was nice. whilst hanging out with them i also me the designer of bolivian express who worked on a few other magazines. we kept in touch and a few weeks ago he made contact asking if i'd be interested in submitting any pictures to a photography magazine he's involved with called revista diafragma. the aim of this publication is to showcase photos and promote bolivian photographers, focussing on different themes for each issue. the latest issue was to have an open theme and by asking me it seemed like they had relaxed their stance on limiting the nationality of their contributors. i sent across a few favourites from the last few months and was happy to discover that my encounter with some military personnel in salento received a full page spread on page 6. you can check out the online version here. a quick flick through the other shots suggests that, judging by names at least, i was the only gringo to breach the bolivian/south american net. i may not be allowed back in the country*, but i'm still infiltrating bolivia through their magazines.

here's the (almost identical) original

*i stayed longer than my 90 day visa allowed so i was told i couldn't return for 1 year
