Mayans ~ Montana Editorial & Fine Art Photography

In honor of 12/21/12 I'm sharing some of my earliest work. I visited the Yucatan Peninsula every week in the mid-80's for a year while working on board a cruise ship. The photo of the young Mayan girls is really the first image I ever took that made me LOVE photography and how it brought me closer to understanding peoples around me and sharing their world.
