    Braided Hues

    My penchant for color attracted me to this stack of plastic braided ropes in a Chichicastenango market.  The red ropes on top punctuate the predominantly blues and greens underneath.  Shot taken while we were cruising Central America in our sailboat 2000-2001.

  • Close-up landscape photo of a woman, perhaps in her fifties, selling white corn at a market in Chichicastenango, Guatemala. In the lower half of the photo she has laid out a sheet of black plastic onto the street, over which she has poured a mound of white corn kernels that form a pyramid in the lower third of the image. In the upper half of the photo we see a large empty burlap gunny sack, laying on the sidewalk, used to transport the corn. She sits adjacent to her corn, with both legs tucked underneath her knees. Her long black hair, which is pulled to the back of her neck, matches her black long-sleeve sweater. She wears a Guatemalan embroidered blouse with red, orange, yellow, and pink flowers, and a dark blue skirt. Her eyes sparkle as she smiles at the camera without parting her lips.

    Chichicastenango Maize

    $822.00 – $2,832.00
    Like all third-world countries, vendors find any available space to sell their wares.  This woman spread her corn on a Chichicastenango street.  While not as colorful as most of my other images, the white corn spread out on the street, and her sweet smile, compelled me to take the shot.  Transparency taken while we were cruising Central America in our sailboat 2000-2001.

    Mayan Spirits

    $822.00 – $2,832.00
    Wall of colorful Mayan textiles hanging in a market in Chichicastenango, Guatemala.  This image taken while we were cruising Central America in our sailboat from 2000-2001.  We rented a car in Guatemala City and drove to the city of Antigua and the surrounding area, including Chichicastenango.  I titled this "Mayan Spirits" not only because of the Mayan stories and themes embedded into this wonderfully colorful embroidery—but also because you can almost feel the ancestral spirits everywhere in this magical country.
