Close-up landscape head and shoulder photo portrait of a Guatemalan shamaness on a mountainside in Chichicastenango. The composition shows her on the right side of the image, with the left side comprised of blurred dark green trees in the background. The light is soft and diffuse. Wearing a traditional brightly colored embroidered blouse with multicolored pink, red, and blue flowers—and a similarly multicolored tapestry folded onto her head—she looks directly at the camera. Her jewelry consists of 1-inch looped silver earrings and a necklace with clear glass beads.

While exploring Chicicastenango someone in the village informed us of a shaman couple that were performing a Mayan ceremony up on the hill.  Following a nearby trail, we found this husband and wife, and they allowed me to photograph them.  Husband and wife are a diptych.  Transparency taken while we were cruising Central America in our sailboat 2000-2001.
