  1. oh i am fascinated with these!!! thank you so much for sharing them... these people are so beautiful, and you have managed to see them in so many different places, from so many different angles, but always with the same tenderness, one can feel this in the photos... and what lovely dresses the women have, what kind of celebration was that?

  3. these a photographs of people taken within the last year. i rarely do such, but sometimes the desire to capture a moment comes too irresistible to hold back. so i shoot, always fascinated with the genuineness of expressions/emotions here - joy, sadness, curiosity, annoyance, boredom etc. it is a very diverse culture with staggering social layers and people from all walks of life. of course, the smiles are the most captivating for me. i smile . . .

    the dresses are traditional mayan, and still very much worn by the local women - white, with stunning bright color embroideries. and the image depicts some kind of catholic procession on the street, right under my balcony.

    i am happy you like these. thank you!
