p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Vaqueros y Vaqueras: San Marcos de Colon, Honduras


I didn't realize it, but I haven't posted in over 3 years! Here are some B&W images from a parade in the village of San Marcos de Colon in southern Honduras. All taken mid-day with bright overhead sun (I tried to use large trees to give a bit of shade). San Marcos is a area with a cattle-culture. Each year in July the village has its fair, with a week of celebration. These portraits were shot on parade day. They are all candid in the sense that they were not set up. Some obviously knew I was pointing the big white lens (70-200 f/2.8II zoom) at them, and some didn't (or ignored it). Since there are a lot of images, I'll post the B&W and color images in separate threads. Its a colorful scene and I'm curious if people like better the B&W or color.

These are terrific! They are great character studies and I really like your B&W treatment.

My wife heads to Honduras in October. She's bringing down a group of her graduate nursing students to do clinic work. Last year they saw over 1800 patients in 10 days. I wish I could come with her this trip, but I'll be on the road for work myself.

The foreign medical brigades in Honduras do incredible work. The people who come are dedicated professionals and work hard for the benefit of people who really need their assistance. Believe me, they are appreciated by the people who they target.

cth55 I am a long-time lurker but first time poster here. Your pictures are beautiful. I am actually from Honduras myself and wanted to ask you if you were Honduran too. I am from San Pedro Sula, although I live in Georgia currently. You will find this hard to believe but I have never been to San Marcos de Colon!

dmacmillan, I agree on the medical brigades. They are fantastic and their work is greatly appreciated. I actually served as a translator for many of those brigades when I still lived in Honduras.

I'm not Honduran but my family is and I have lived in Choluteca for 19 years. My kids were raised here, in my wife's home town.

A fine set. You have composed loosely enough that we have some understanding of the scene, yet tightly enough to create a character portrait in each case.
