When I am not photographing weddings I am usually working on a story. I feel my mission in life is to help give a voice to those people who do not have power. Sugarcane workers in Guatemala suffer immensely. They are paid slave wages, and have very little rights. Someday I hope to go back and finish this story.
Sugarcane worker Perfecto and three of his seven children rest in front of their house. Perfecto's wife went to go shopping in town two days ago and has not returned. He stayed home from work to take care of his children but there is no food and the water is contaminated and undrinkable. They carried water from a local church. The smallest daughter has osteroporosis and needs regular medical attention. Perfecto has worked cane all of his life and with only one small five-year-old son to help perfecto feels that his life is closingin on him.
