Slowly but surely the rains are coming in to Guatemala. We had some sporadic rains at the end of April and few more this first week of May. As some of you may already know, the rain season in Antigua Guatemala spans the months of May through October, even early November. You can see the … Read more
We continue our mini series Abstractions from Antigua Guatemala with a lamp casting a sharp and well-defined shadow against a vibrant red wall. Can you extrapolate the feeling of the architecture of Antigua Guatemala from fragments such as the one above? If you would like to get a gorgeous print from any of the photographs … Read more
Here’s a follow up to Corre Carlos Corre published back in 2012. Once again, there’s a kid running, in this case with red wall, rojo Santo Domingo to be precise, as backdrop. With this one, there are three Run Lolo Run posts in the archives. Enjoy them all!
Nearly 4,000 days ago I set out to share with you daily life vistas from Antigua Guatemala and even though the website expanded to cover every single aspect of life in Guatemala. Every now and then I still think it is important to bring you quotidian images, such as this one of women and her … Read more
Okay guys, let’s get the creative juices going. I will let you caption this picture. Have fun!
Now that you know that the dry season is the best season to watch sunsets and cloudscapes in Antigua Guatemala, be on the look out for venues with balconies and terrazas [roof tops] with accommodations to watch the sun set over the west among the volcanoes Fuego and Acatenango.
If you have followed the daily updates of AntiguaDailyPhoto for a while you would know that here we only served rich saturated colours, sometimes with textures as is the case today. Honestly, I can’t say exactly what compels me to photograph walls like this, but I can honestly say that I like it; I hope … Read more

Details, details, details. I believe beauty manifests itself in the details. Correct me if I am wrong!
Today we resume the sign fetish series. How do you get this vigorous red color? First you find red wall looking west or poniente, in case you need to ask the locals where west is; that is looking toward the Fuego (Fire) and Acatenango Volcanos. Then, you wait for the warm light of the late … Read more
Once again, La Antigua Guatemala Daily Photo is participating in the theme day of the Daily Photo community. This time the theme is about the color red. Here you can see the Compañía de Jusús building under care of the Cooperación Española which is huge red building; one full block to be specific. This building has had many uses through history, like the home of Bernal Díaz del Castillo, home to the Jesuits of Central America in colonial times, thus its name, and more recently it houses a public library, culture center under the administration of Agencia Española de Cooperación Internacional. You can see the big entrance of the building, the interior gardens and arches and one the side wall of the ruins. I decided to photograph this building because it’s the biggest red thing in La Antigua Guatemala, but I was lucky to have a red motorcycle and a red jeep enter the viewfinder at the moment I snapped the shot; how lucky, indeed.
