We continue our photographic tour through the lesser known parts of Antigua Guatemala. This is my favorite spot in the entire city and probably does not fit the tag of lesser known because many people go by this place every day. But, just like la Casa de los Nazarenos, also known as Casa de los … Read more
Sometimes we obviate things that we find on our normal routines. Take this abandoned house for instance, hundreds of buses go by it everyday, but how many people actually pay attention to it, I wonder. La Antigua Guatemala is a place where abandonment looks good and even it’s a desired look. By the way, the … Read more
How about if this week we walk through the lesser known parts of Antigua Guatemala. I mean there’s life outside Parque Central, you know. Of course, alleyways are a good starting point as not many people walk through them, opting for the main streets. La Antigua Guatemala does not have too many alleys though, but … Read more

I have to admit I like the presentation of chicken tikka masala from Pushkar much better. At this venue the marinated chicken tikka chunks are blended into a curry sauce with yoghurt and cream base. Served with rice for Q89/$12. The naan and lassi are sold here for Q25/$3.27 and Q30/$4.05 respectively for a grand … Read more
The chicken tikka masala series is long over due. It was long-time loyal reader El Canche who actually sponsored the fund for this series. THANKS A LOT Canche. Anyhow, the goal of the chicken tikka masala series was to taste this dish at all the different Indian restaurants in Antigua Guatemala. At the time the … Read more
This is part of the seed bank at Caoba Farms in Antigua Guatemala, the last stop of the organic tour hosted by the farms. Honest, I don’t know what’s the big deal of letting companies patent seeds and nature. I believe it is just envy that Monsanto and the like have better lawyers and lobbyists … Read more

There are some theories, from droughts, fungus, parasites to pesticides, or perhaps all the … Read more
One of the things I enjoy the most about street photography is the strange things one gets to photograph. I hadn’t noticed that I am collecting tree silhouettes photographs during my photo walks. For instance, on a recent post about commuting to work, the most prominent element is a dead tree silhouette. I guess sometimes … Read more
Blame NYChapin for today’s photo of a forest area among the milpa fields. This is about 2 miles up the hills of Volcán de Agua as climbed from the village of San Pedro Las Huertas. Boy oh boy, the things I do for you guys. 😉 The picture below, on the other hand, was taken … Read more
We continue our street portrait series with the picture of this young girl who was practicing her English skills with me, even though I only spoke Spanish to her. Who knows why she chose to speak in English to me since I only speak Spanish and poorly at that. Anyhow, I was able to take … Read more
