The Antigua Guatemala Town Crier

If you have follow the daily updates from AntiguaDailyPhoto, you should know this guy by now. Sergio is the leader of crier group, pregoneros in Spanish, who dress up in colonial-style clothing and go around crying the news of the city or the promotions of a business when hired, as in this case, by Casa Escobar. Through the years I have taken many photographs of the town cryer Sergio and his group and I am sort of the unofficial photographer of the group. If you would like to see the Antigua Guatemala crier in full colonial-time clothing, follow the white rabbit to Portrait of the Colonial Crier.
