Bigger photos!

See something you want to share? Click on the triangle on the bottom right of the photos/galleries and you can embed it in you’re own website or blog, even facebook. Right now it is just web sized versions of the photos, but in time you will be able to view full screen slideshows, buy prints, and editors will be able to liciense the images for publication. Pretty cool, huh? But right now I am so sick of sitting infront of this computer, I need to go make a picture!

…on the bus.

Spent the morning at a pool in Guatemala City. Color, light, action, and timeless water polo helmets.

Dia de los Muertos was this weekend. I’ve photographed this tradition numerous times back home as a staff photographer at The Albuquerque Tribune, but this was completely different. In Santiago Sacatepéuez Guatemala the ritual of kite-flying is a symbolic way to communicate with the dead. The smell of sempa (marigolds) and copal incense fills the air as families take to the cemeteries to clean and adorn the graves with candles. The kites are hand made of bamboo and paper and can be as large as 50 feet and require the entire community to raise. I had a great time making pictures, but sadly someone stole my wallet on the crowed bus ride home. Such is life…and death I guess. Bueno, ya me voy.
