This picture was taken from the southwest corner of the intersection of Calle de la Luna and Calle de San Jose in Old San Juan (facing north on San Jose). Is there a way to directly add geolocation tags to the pictures in this collection? question answered & geolocation tags included

¡Maravillosa! This is the first non B&W photo I see of San Juan during this period. What color and crispness! Jack Delano not only was a wonderful photographer but a very gifted musician who arrived in Puerto Rico as a Federal Government employee, felt in love with the country, its folklore and its people and never left. His contribution to Puerto Rican culture in terms of arts and music is incalculable.

I don't like you José you go around amazing imagery for profit purposes. Is sort sad you will come out witch such a prestige name and have that twisted by standards. You are not a nationalized entity so you are falsely representing. I don’t really care who you are but at least form a nonprofit and use the imagery accordingly for conservation and historic purposes.

That's a great picture! It could represent the toil of many hardworking Farmers anywhere in the World. Not knowing when and where the photo was taken I would generically tag it with: farmer farming toil planting sand work food and crop I think your Project is amazing. Good work.
