Costa Rica Roof Top San Jose Shack Slum Barrio
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of a poor barrio located north of the bustling center of San Jose, Costa Rica. The image showcases a cluster of corrugated iron buildings that form the backdrop of this humble neighborhood. The roofs, made entirely from corrugated iron sheets, reflect the harsh realities faced by those residing in this area. The photograph provides an outdoor glimpse into this place where life unfolds amidst challenging circumstances. Each shack stands as a testament to resilience and resourcefulness in the face of adversity. It is evident that these structures serve as homes for many families who call this slum their own. As we explore this travel destination through photography, we are reminded of both the beauty and struggles found within Central America's vibrant communities. The high angle view allows us to appreciate how these makeshift dwellings blend seamlessly with their surroundings while also highlighting their vulnerability. San Jose, being the capital city, often presents itself as a hub for progress and development; however, it is crucial not to overlook areas like this barrio that portray a different reality experienced by its inhabitants. This color image invites viewers to contemplate social inequality and challenges our preconceived notions about urban landscapes. Robert Francis/Robert Harding has skillfully captured an authentic slice-of-life moment in Costa Rica's capital city without commercial intent but rather with an aim to evoke empathy and understanding towards marginalized communities worldwide.
