We stayed three weeks in La Antigua Guatemala, the old capital of the country. We spent most of our time learning and practicing Spanish in one of the numerous schools of the city. And every Thursday and Saturday, we went to the market, both to buy vegetables and fruits, and to take pictures.
The loads carried by these men were very impressive. They moving around like this, among so many people gave me the idea to try a motion blur. It was quite difficult because of the lack of light.

You must have panned to get this shot – wow. It perfectly conveys the movement of the market while completely directing the focus to this worker. It’s fabulous.
