Guatemala |Mayan women

2009-05-18T19:43:00.000-07:00

here's the last post in this series from my Guatemalan travels, dedicated to the 'mujer maya'. mayan women still dress in traditional fashion as you can see from the brightly colored 'vestidos'. they are harding-working, industrious, and share a strong sense of community. they are the preservers of an ancient culture, the remnant of a dying tradition. hope you enjoy.

Kevin and Chris |Yorba Linda

2009-05-11T16:03:00.000-07:00

I'm requesting Sufjan add this couple onto his Michigan album, because they are that sweet. California got graced by these two for a lovely, intimate wedding celebration. Calm, collected, and spilling laughter, Kevin and Chris were the classy to the max. Enjoy the pics.

Guatemala |street

2009-04-27T23:09:00.001-07:00

The streets of Guatemala are paved with many stones. Upon the faces, along the walls, in the streets, one sees the character, the struggles, the history, and the challenges of this tiny country. Despite a collection of painful pasts and present circumstances, many people still carry a joyful resilience, a very visible hope and joy. This is by no means an exhaustive survey but rather a selected glimpse of some of the streets I travelled in this latest latin american excursion. You'll have to pardon the heaviness of some of the content; however, at the same time, it is sometimes most beneficial to see pain in order to develop compassion within. That being said, I promise the next post will be a little lighter.

Lining Central Park are the banners of organized protests of the people.

A stone of poverty.

Tagging the city walls are cries for justice for genocide of the indigenous Mayan people during a civil war that lasted 36 years until 1996 when the country finally declared peace.

An armed guard for every major shop.

Despite abject conditions and a rattled history, the large majority still hold strong to their faith in God.
