Building the pyramid piece by piece. Second play of Teotihuacan and loved it. Have to say, I'm the first to hate the hype.... But this is a pretty great midweight euro. Lots of planning and calculating though... And the scores were sooo tight at the top. 12 points between 1st and 3rd with completely different strategies #teotihuacan #mezoamerica #handycon #handycon5 #boardgames #boardgaming #tabletop #tabletopgaming

Working on a video production this week in lovely Guatemala. I was awaiting the rest of the team to arrive and pulled out my pocket camera. Everyone on site began demanding photos, which was great fun. I mean how could I resist?
So I bring you, Portraits On Demand - Guatemala Edition. •

Antigua - A Town of Tourism
•
•
Photo 1.
Juan was busy making water color drawings of the city to sell to tourist. I’m jealous because he has talent with a brush, and I don’t. •
•
Photo 2
A single golden arch, a tourist and a local Mayan hustling her wares. Antigua in a nut shell. •
•
After a very long day of post production, I gave myself a small break and wandered around Antigua in the waining light.
Watching tourist and locales, stalking scenes and moments, in that unmistakable way all street photographers do anywhere in the world. (Yes we are creepy )
This UNESECO town stole my heart at just thirteen-years-old. And though it still was a living city then, today it’s sole reason of existence is tourism, both domestic and international. But that doesn’t stop me from loving it. •

Antigua - A Town of Tourism

United Buddy Bears are being exhibited all over the world representing different countries and promoting tolerance. Or that’s what I understood with my limited Spanish. •

Angelica, 4, was watching me work with great suspicion. So I stopped and asked for her photo. Apparently she still wasn’t impressed :)

Sandra’s father wanted a boy and threatened his wife he’d kill her for having a girl. He wanted someone to inherit his land, and obviously a girl child would be useless.
Today Sandra has 29 plots of land and employees over 20-women to work her fields. The snap peas you buy in the US, and those tasty carrots you enjoy might have come from her land.
Sandra, working with CARE on a project funded by USAID, has changed her life from one of poverty to one of power and financial independence. It was great to bring a group of Republican Congress Women to meet people like Sandra, so they could see first hand the importance of foreign aid. And to put a face to the reason people migrate and the reality that most don’t want to leave their home but do out of the pure necessity of survival. Today Sandra is the head of the only woman’s cooperative in Guatemala, one in which they worked with packers to ship products to The US. Sandra is on her way to being a farming mogul.
Maybe now her father realizes he never needed a boy to inherit his land. •

This is where Sandra and her co-op package your fresh veggies. These women work like speed demons. And they will all stay right here, close to their families because they have job that pay them a living wage. •
