1961 BOLIVIA Nuns and schoolchildren after celebrating mass and First Communion in the city's Cathedral, walk passed the President's Palace guarded by Military Police. At the time the country was governed by the MNR (Movimiento Nacional Revolucionario) and many events and travel within the country were strictly controlled.

Camera Leica lll F with a collapsible Leitz f 5 cm 1:3.5 lens. Film Plus X Pan at F5.6 - 1/100 second. My film was cut from bulk rolls and loaded in a re-loadable leica cassette. It was a convenient low cost way of carrying film but not ideal. The film had to be loaded in the dark and static electricity always attracted dust which shows on the negative. Developed by hand in La Paz using May and Baker Promicrol at normal dilution.
