Of those images, I have selected 100 to show here on fototazo over 5 posts. Part 1 can be found here and Part 2 can be found here.
I am making this selection for a couple of reasons. The layout of this site would make republishing the entire selection featured on F-Stop difficult, plus duplicating the entirety of the images featured a click away doesn't seem necessary.
In exchange, pulling out 100 of the 353 accepted submissions gave me a chance to continue to enjoy looking through the images and to challenge myself as an editor to make decisions to get to what I truly feel are the strongest photographs submitted. I did not limit the number of images for any particular photographer - if someone happened to have made 5 of the best 100, so be it.
I am including 2012 in the post title because I would like this to be an annual feature on this site. fototazo is based in Colombia, and I have become aware since moving here of the lack of deserved presence of Latin American photography in the international online photography world. I would like this site to continue to move towards helping to fill that absence. There is a lot of exciting work being produced here - it just needs better distribution opportunities.
One last note: the 100 images are not in any particular order other than a little intuitive sequencing.
Here is the third group of 20 images of Photography in Latin America 2012.

El Hombre de mi vida - día 30
Love of my life – October 30th. A new friend who asks me where I am, why am I not seeing the group, who says to me on the phone: Comeeeeeee. I smile while my eyes shrink until I suddenly think, alarmed: how close does he want me to be?
