Luis Garcia spent four days photographing the villages around Guatemala's Lake Atitlán for "The Renaissance Tour," a Virtuoso feature on Maya culture and everyday life. The assignment marked his 14th year with the magazine, a partnership that began in 2012 in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico. Instead of a shot list, his photo editor sent draft story text naming the people and places to cover.⁣⁣

Luis drove a rental car between lakeside towns to cover more ground. He made one exception: a 25-minute lancha ride from San Pedro La Laguna to Santiago Atitlán, where he photographed a street market. San Juan La Laguna, quieter and less touristed, left the strongest impression.⁣⁣

His portrait of Delfina Par, founder of the textile shop Casa Flor Ixcaco, opened the feature. Visitors had copied the shop's patterns without permission, so Luis skipped close-ups of the fabrics. He photographed the naturally dyed yarns instead.⁣⁣

Luis edited his selects every night. By the day before his flight home, the magazine had finalized its picks.⁣⁣

If you know me, you know that my other big passion is cycling, I love to ride, watch and shoot this amazing sport. This week I had the opportunity to photograph Julian Peraza, an 18 year old from San Diego with a big future ahead of him. He is currently the California Jr. Criterium and Cat 1-2 Pro Road Race Champion. His next race is this weekend at the Canela con Causa Road Circuit Race in Rosarito, BC, best of luck Julian! @jjuliaan.peraza @border_cycle @aldapacycling by @luisgfoto
