Generally speaking (but not always) the photos seen here are first posted on Instagram or Facebook and later uploaded here; the collection is constantly growing, and may not always be up to date. English or Spanish names may vary from region to region. Spanish names are mostly those used in Argentina, where known - otherwise I have followed suggestions in Wikipedia. Numbers at right are my catalogue accession numbers and can be ignored, but do serve as links to the files. Country flags refer to where the photo was taken and are also links to photos. All photographs are watermarked and are copyright to Martin Eayrs. Comments and corrections are always welcome and may be directed here. |
