Behind the Photo

I took this photo while wandering through La Candelaria, the city center of Bogotá, in September 2023. I spent most of that day observing city life—watching locals commute to work and street vendors chatting up tourists. I grabbed a mora oblea from a street cart and started walking back to my hostel. As I passed through a small cluster of government buildings armed soldiers lined the block. They belonged to the elite unit within the army responsible for guarding the president per the “GP” markings on their helmets. I saw these young soldiers and asked if I could take their photo. They exchanged glances and gave a small gesture, as if it was okay. I asked again for clarification—it wasn’t the kind of photo you’d want to take without permission. They kindly nodded and I took two quick shots. As I put my camera down, the solider on the left gave me a nod and the faintest smile. I thanked them and continued walking.
