Guatemala in Black & White

The the winter of 2011 my girlfriend and I traveled to Guatemala. Our  adventure was to set out of Gautemala City upon arrival and return when our flight was to bring us home 14 days later. Everything in between was unplanned and loosely decided upon. Our intention was to see the Central American country with as much face value as possible. Granted we were white American tourist, but we delved as deep as we could.


I brought along my Minolta 35mm SLR camera and eight rolls of Black & White 400iso film. I set out to capture the country as I saw it. My sight was drawn to several aspects of the land, the people, the animals, and the architecture. I tried having my camera closely follow behind and snap at what I was intrigued by. We saw a lot of towns and we met a lot of characters and we wandered through the robust landscape. I attempted to limit the editing done on most photos. The following is how I saw the beautiful country of Guatemala.
