An Exhibition

Chajil-Chupup-Image

Beginning this month I will have a photography exhibition at the Chehalem Cultural Center in Newberg, Oregon. The photos will all be of the Chajil Ch’upup cooperative from San Juan la Laguna, Guatemala – and half of the profit from sales will go to them to support their conservation efforts.

Join me on October 16th, from 5-8 PM for a reception at the Chehalem Cultural Center, or stop by anytime during regular hours from October 13th to November 21 to view the photographs on display.

Videography Addition

Chajil Crossing from Robin Canfield on Vimeo.

The waters of Lake Atitlan in Guatemala are rising quickly, overtaking native plant life as well as human dwellings. This short clip shows a native Tz’utujil Mayan fisherman from San Juan la Laguna, a member of the Chajil Ch’upup fishermen’s cooperative, crossing the waters of the lake a short ways off shore.

Panorama-rama

A few words on piecing together panoramas.

Sometimes you get enough of the right pieces for a good picture.

._.

Sometimes there are just chunks missing from what you want.

._.

Sometimes pictures just won't line up no matter how hard you try.

._.

Sometimes things just work out…

That’s about it for this panorama-rama, unless I ever manage to piece together my 28 picture Manizales set into a successful panorama.

I’d like to thank all the cool places for the good views. I’d like to half-thank Nikon for the (mostly) working camera, though when I asked them were I could get a copy of the panorama program that came with the camera if I didn’t have the disc with me they said I was out of luck.

With that in mind I’d like to thank and recommend Hug-in for being an awesome, free panorama program.
