Character

He had character. Mayan societies tend to be very matriarchal, and the communities we visited were no different on this, with the ladies taking care of pretty much everything (relationships, providing food and income, work, family…). He was somehow the exception. He played the host and mediated with us. He was good company too, witty and fun.

His face was very expressive. I like this picture because it’s full of dignity and pride. He looked like somebody who knew well his place in this world.
