More about this photograph

Description

Preserved together on the same strip of negatives, these two frames were made during one of Francisco Coto’s journeys through Guanacaste. By including his Linhof camera in one of the images, Coto brings the photographic process itself into the work, connecting the experience of the landscape with his way of seeing it.
