The country’s name means land of the trees and it’s where the world’s first chocolate bar was created. I was in Antigua, Guatemala. Although lovely, with its interesting cobbled streets arranged in a grid, it’s also surrounded by the menace of several volcanoes. There are more than 30 in the country! I’m a street photographer by nature. I love to walk the streets, hang out on corners and chat to whoever about anything. I like humanity. From human beings to anything with a human touch. I like normal life, almost banal life. I like to see how people live on a day-to-day basis.

Truck yeah!
