Despite Calidonia’s sometimes mixed reputation as a ‘ghetto’ or red zone in Panama, it holds a special place in my heart. I have fond memories of visiting with my mom to a place called ‘Sal Si Puedes,’ where we’d find ‘tembleques’ and other items for Panama’s folkloric dress. Recently, I ventured back to capture some street style photos, while I visited Panama, my home country. Surprisingly, people were ok with me taking photos, which made for really great candids.
