As clients line up by his desk, which is perched at an angle, 61-year-old Condori fills out a tax form here, a divorce application there, on his Brother Deluxe 1350 vintage typewriter in the Bolivian capital.
LA PAZ, BOLIVIA - Dressed in a suit, a feather in his hat, Rogelio Condori sits bent over a small table on a sidewalk in La Paz, tapping on a typewriter with his index fingers.
Condori competes with nine other typewriter scribes on the same street, but said he has regular clients. He looks up from his work to see a couple, both grim-faced, who have come for help with a divorce form."Every now and then, we do love letters," Condori said, smiling amid the din of traffic and street vendors on the corner that has been his outdoor office for the last 37 years."I wrote: 'My love... let our years together not be in vain. Please reconsider our situation'," Condori recounted the letter he composed for the man.
