Dawn on Lake Atitlan
Lake Atitlan is an amazing volcanic lake in the western highlands of Guatemala. It is surrounded by villages inhabited by people primarily of Mayan origin. This photo was taken right after sunrise when the mist is on the lake and the local men are going out to fish. The scene was physically and spiritually inspiring. I took a lot of photos, but this one captured the scene the best.

I was there on a photography workshop, as well as in Antigua. Fell in love with the country. Am looking into some pro bono work from afar and hope to go back.
