 | | OJOS nuevos - A Day Trip to the Coastal Town of Valparaiso with Pentax With their Pentax cameras, the students of OJOS nuevos set out for a day trip to the coastal town of Valparaiso and used the opportunity to take some great photos on both land and sea. Article rating: 10.00 |
A day trip an hour and half outside of the capital to the coastal town Valparaíso was the ultimate place to photograph for the OJOS crew. It was a huge reward that the girls had been looking forward to since posting the schedule up in the hogar. Plus, thanks to the camera program, the fieldtrip marked the first time volunteers had ever taken kids from an institution outside of Santiago.
