SHe Guatemala 2009

As many of you know I went to Guatemala and was able to act as the photographer for SHe and Choice Humanitian.

This was my second time to a developing country and each time I leave my safety bubble of Southern California I try to prepare myself for what I may see,

but there is nothing that can be done to prepare yourself for what you may feel. The Guatemalan people have love that is hard to describe with words and can be only felt.

Here are a few of the things I saw and experienced while I was there.

Nat arranged for us to meet up with some of her friends in Guatemala City for the day. It was fun getting to know some of the locals and seeing the sites of Antigua. Thanks for playing tour guide guys. I had a blast.






I quickly feel in love with her friends daughter. Isn't she the cutest?



On the way to the Polochic Valley were stopped for lunch and were able to take in some of the beauty of Guat country side.



This is just a few of the many children that loved to have their picture taken. I felt so popular carrying my trusty 30D around. Oh 5D MII I missed you more then I missed electricity.

Some of the many many friends I made on trip. You guys are Rock Stars!

The mighty army of SHe and Choice! Oh how I miss you guys.

A post isn't a post without baby toes.

El paro. The dogs of the Polochic. I don't think Peta would be happy with this picture.

On of the many church buildings you would find walking around the jungle. Oh it brings tears to my eyes thinking about the love I felt while in this building.

Typical home in the Polochic. Yes I now have a clothline out my back door. :)

And last some of the many spiders and bugs that we made friends with. Frogs, bugs, spiders and cockroaches that joined us for dinner on more then one occasion.

I hope that I was able to provide Choice and SHe with images of this trip that will be charished for years to come.

Thanks for the experience!
