Photo Essay: Peruvian Futból Portraits

by Robert Kittilson | 12 February 2010 No Comment

In our first three months in Peru we had seen four futból matches. Each time I would bring my camera along and capture some of the mayhem. I soon learned there is much more passion in the stands than on the field. The following photos are portraits of some of the most dedicated people in the world. Cheers to you, Peruvian Futból Fanatics.
