Esos cielos.

A few thoughts from the airport on my way back:

Feels nice to be back in Central America.

My first time in Guatemala, but having this weird feeling that I’ve been here before.

It reminds me so much of Nicaragua and Honduras.

Pura buena gente.

Muy gentiles.

As always, we prepared the shoot weeks in advance with the Human Rights Watch team.

Y como siempre, la realidad se impone.

We got really good material. Unexpected scenes.

Access was surprisingly easy.

It’s impressive how people has opened up their hearts to us.

Also,

Need to come back here and go hiking.

Look at the amazing volcano at the background!
