Taken in a small Mayan village in Guatemala. The volcano in the background is Volcan Tajumulco, the tallest in Central America. This woman lives next door to my girlfriend; we can occasionally get her to crack a smile while attempting to speak Mam with her. Otherwise she, as with most Guatemalans, is very shy. Life in these small villages is very hard, rural Guatemala is still recovering from a 36 year civil war, and income stratification continues to grow amongst the urban rich, and the rural poor. It has been a complete pleasure to live amongst these noble people.
