Sergio Bustamante, independent candidate

Posted by Andrew Gould (Sydney, Australia) on 13 September 2008 in People & Portrait and Portfolio.

This is my wife's cousin, who is standing for election to the Rockdale City Council in Sydney. Taken today, outside a polling location. Good luck, Sergio!!!

I would like to keep in touch with members of the aminus3 community.

Tis the season for politics! As I'm sure you've heard we have a very interesting political campaign season here in the USA.

Good luck to him. He looks like a kind and decent man. He looks very "normal" and I mean that as a compliment!

@Laurie: Thanks, Laurie. Sergio is very community minded, indeed.

una gran imagen.lo primero que me ha pasdo por la cabeza es que vuestro sistema electoral es más complicado que el nuestro(que ya lo es mucho...)
pero la naturalidad de la cara aun sin verle los ojos en contraposicion a la cara del "candidato" en el cartel
dan un juego que encuentro fascinante
congratulations Andrew !
