My guide was René, who has spent more than 20 years as a guard at the ruinas. We walked, he talked, I listened. I asked him if he ever experienced anything eerie or mystical. He said he had heard many low voices speaking at once, as at a marketplace. I asked him where he heard that. He said here, and I took this photograph. http://theculturalphotographer.net/blog daily 0.75 2021-03-08 http://theculturalphotographer.net/blog/2021/3/8/the-big-world-of-cultural-photography monthly 0.5 2021-03-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57fab30f46c3c42b61580aeb/1615236748028-SO8OIB36RLH1VK86Q953/8X4A7178-7.jpg Stories - The Big World of Cultural Photography Our dinner companion: a guardabarranco. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57fab30f46c3c42b61580aeb/1615236673693-NI5Z3KJWSCQ5B8LVW0P4/Cosiguina.jpg Stories - The Big World of Cultural Photography The crater.

Downtown Jardín To me, this might be the essential photograph of this lovely town. A colorful Jeep, loaded for the mountains, moves slowly down colorful Calle 10 under the watchful eye of the Basílica Menor de la Inmaculada Concepción. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57fab30f46c3c42b61580aeb/1570391645947-Z39T09JKJZAVWG0RBTRU/obido+blue+street.jpg Cultural photography in the field - Óbidos blue wall Portugal is blue.... sky, buildings, waters.

I too was waiting out the rain, I saw the wet floors in the church (La Soledad) and knew there would be an opportunity for a good shot. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57fab30f46c3c42b61580aeb/1682471610242-ACWUOUGOKIDIFT6O1DQW/Duomo+and+city.jpg Cultural photography in the field - Florence Duomo The very familiar and famous Brunelleschi Dome, a work of art in the city of Florence, which is also a work of art.

She spends hours at this. Everyday. It took me several attempts to get this shot because I wasn’t sure if she was being watched or not. My camera was at hip level. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57fab30f46c3c42b61580aeb/1594852649388-YQHNKSTQ73LMGXHZ85U9/womeninline.jpg Cultural photography in the field - Women waiting in line. I lover the facial expressions as much as the intricate weaves of their skirts and blouses. What got my attention was the lady holding the boy’s hand; in her other she has a steaming bowl of soup. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57fab30f46c3c42b61580aeb/1585174653503-SHE8BDMU6XNE3EI92IGF/untitled-3.jpg Cultural photography in the field - Era la piragua de Guillermo Cubillos Upstream from Nauta, Perú, an indigenous man smiles from his humble piragua, a type of dugout canoe. He is looking for a customer for his small batch of plaintains, a staple in the Amazon regions of Perú, Colombia, Brazil and other countries within the enormous basin. Seeing him brought to mind the classic song La Piragua. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57fab30f46c3c42b61580aeb/1533572263077-XJVA0M6NCU54XB1MFZJI/basilica+hdr.jpg Cultural photography in the field - Zacatecas' cathedral and its Churrigueresque architecture This church is the pride of Zacatecas and rightly so because its architectural style is unique to this unique city. Zacatecas has more museums that you can possible imagine in a city of this size. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57fab30f46c3c42b61580aeb/1655060352125-J7AYF3X7MGBZMKDR5DLF/Five+Kids.jpg Cultural photography in the field - New Hope in Nueva Esperanza These five girls live in the desert community of Nueva Esperanza in the Chiclayo province. They are hoping for Christmas presents. They will get them, thanks to the efforts of FNE International whose prime reason for being in the Zańa region is to provide much needed health care. For many of the kids in Nueva Esperanza these will be the only presents they see and get. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57fab30f46c3c42b61580aeb/1682532839429-FTWYSRL48XN31IAABOLV/hoi+an+evening.jpg Cultural photography in the field - Evenings in Hoi An Hoi An is a favorite destination for tourists, particularly tourists from Vietnam. I kept going back to walk the town and soak in the atmosphere. In the evenings boat rides are popular. Here the boats start lining up on the shores of the Thu Bón river waiting for passengers. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57fab30f46c3c42b61580aeb/1705275681221-MO65KYU4UJ0VDIOXM7RR/Roma+flower+seller.jpg Cultural photography in the field - Roma Flower Seller, Bucharest On the streets of Bucharest, a Roma woman sells flowers outside of a church. Romani people make up 3.4% of the Rumanian population or more than 600,000. Many people believe the Roma people (gypsy is the pejorative term) are from Rumania; however their origins are Indian. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57fab30f46c3c42b61580aeb/1705272813759-C537IE4GF08W38BEJ6T0/Ourzazate.jpg Cultural photography in the field - Ouarzazate Among Morocco’s picturesque cities, Ouarzazate certainly stands out.
