Bogotá's colorful and outspoken graffiti scene has moved from walls to paper and cyberspace, with a book and website displaying the work of four of the city's most talented and productive grafiteros: Toxicomano, Guache, Lesivo and DJLU.
The book, called
Calle Esos Ojos, is available at the
Casa Ensamble Theatre, in Teusaquillo, when not sold out. Ask for Fraudio. The graffiti artists' excellent website, strangely, has an English name:

Muy buenas fotos Miguel, los murales estan del putas, pero tambien tus fotos son muy buenas.

No, same camera. That camera can take fine pictures when the subject stands still, as murals usually do.
