Today I photographed Chelsey‘s family. We have been talking about this for the past three months. It was so delightful.
A few images.
I love all of them, but I really REAALLLLLYYY love 3 and 4. You are amazing.
That last photo is fab-u-lous. I kinda want it as a print for my wall :)
That last one gave me goosebumps.
Brittany, you’re the best :) I love them. Especially the last one, it just fills my heart and makes me feel like I could fly.
[...] April 18, 2012 – spent the day with the lovely Brittany. She documented our entire day from breakfast to bedtime. Here’s a few. [...]
Confession. I didn’t love Argentina. The week I was there I felt enveloped in a city of miserable, yet beautiful, people in a crumbling city. They loved their city, but they hated their lives.

If you go to Guatemala (which you better, because you must know it is my first love and I will always speak highly of it), you must ride a chicken bus. Why? Because of this excerpt I wrote in 2010 from this post.
The second mode of transportation is the infamous chicken bus, locally known as a ‘camioneta’. In every town there is guaranteed to be a lineup of brilliantly painted old American school and transit buses with lights flashing and the most ridiculous horns you have ever heard blaring. For approximately $1.25 for an hour of travel you can go practically anywhere. Now, you are not simply paying for the trip but also the experience – which makes it so worthwhile. At the bus stations vendors will flood onto the bus offering all types of delicacies or health products, and individuals may come on to beg for money. One particular man scrambled onto the bus just as it left the terminal and started to give a rather lengthy speech. With my rudimentary Spanish I understood little of what he was saying and eventually just started to watch Xela go by outside my window. Several minutes later I turned my attention towards the front of the bus just as he lifted his shirt followed by a rather large piece of gauze and lo-and-behold – intestine! I now wish I had paid more attention to what was being said. Only on a chicken bus!
Kind of crumby images – but I will blame that on having landed the previous night and it being ridiculously late that day. Let’s go with that.

This post is so dear to my heart!!! My husband spent a summer in South America a few years ago, and his stories of Uruguay stand out among the others. It’s so awesome to see your perspective of this beautiful place!!
