PROJECT Overview

This selection of photos was taken during my time living and working abroad in the highlands of Guatemala from January 2018 until June 2019. Depicted are family, friends, neighbors, coworkers, colleagues, and some of the most breathtaking landscape I've ever had the pleasure of beholding... though honestly still nothing in comparison to the humans that grace these snapshots in time. Though I am proud of these photos, I am undoubtedly more proud of the experiences and the stories they represent.

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!
