How I approached this experience
In most ways, it wasn't hard besides waiting for mutually totally comfortable situations, getting a good light reading, and knowing how to work my AE-1. Essentially, all I had to do was be present amongst the people, the textiles, the colors, the sounds, and the smells. Guatemala did the rest for me. Every click was a new lesson it seems.
My favorite takeaway:
An entirely changed perspective on and approach to life... that's all!
