Clash of Titans

The picture was taken on the surroundings of a very popular peruvian market in Lima called Gamarra. This is my portrait and it was taken with my own camera by a street photographer who used this exotic background. A view that doesn't exist anywhere. Is a pastiche of all kind of wildlife and rainforests from around the world. The red T-Shirt with the black bull I'm wearing is a national trade mark from Spain and this picture is an allegory of the spanish violent conquest of America.
