The story of a photo... I was able to photograph the members of the Central General Staff of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia FARC at the International Book Fair of Bogotá FiLBO 2017, without any restriction, of course I carried all the press credentials including the vest that identifies my trade, in the same way I could get close to leaders very close controversial ones like Piedad Córdoba, or Plinio Apuleyo Mendoza himself, journalist - writer who had no problem (by coincidence) in going to have a coffee in the same space where he was part of the main flat of the FARC... photos all the time, it was even possible to photograph Mr. President Juan Manuel Santos and Sra, protected of course, but there were no aggressions or similar... all these characters that I mention somehow are at permanent risk for their lives, but it was possible an approach.


But the story with Piero @pierocantautor was another... a safety ring assigned to an event firm... they took on the role with the intensity they ended up in an unpleasant attitude, I come from Venezuela where press photographers work with helmets, gas masks and bulletproof vests and all the time must be alert, and a hand hanging the passage of a boy does not really intimidate, but if it is offensive, and with the same strong high tone as a soldier responds...are orders!And then that's when I'm surprised... I can't ask Piero questions, and if I'm going to take pictures it's going to be in the distance... that's wrong... so I play scream meters... I piero a photo for the Press of Venezuela... And this was the picture!. a click disturbed by the movement of the escorts of the moment... Piero already with the handkerchief imposed on him by Grupó No 13 of Scout of Colombia,... perhaps he never heard about these little things that happen that may well define the greatness of a public character... thanks to the middle controls.... That's what this trade is. Bogota D.C. Colombia
