      <image:title>Blog - Sanjuaneada - For generations, the belief that El Salvador had little or no African lineage became deeply rooted among its own population, despite historical and anthropological research showing otherwise.</image:title>
      <image:caption>More recently, that heritage has become more visible through a broader process of recognition and self-identification among Afro-Salvadorans.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Sanjuaneada - The version I photographed included three characters: La Vieja, El Viejo and El Cumiche. Together, they bring that playful sense of humor to life, while the black masks remain among its most distinctive visual elements. The fact that all three characters are performed by men adds another layer of irreverence to the tradition.</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - Emberá: Panama - I have always considered technical proficiency part of respecting the person being photographed: they should not have to stand around while I figure out my equipment. My attention remained on the person and how comfortable they felt with the process I created. That became even more important in the village. I was working within their spaces and on their time. Most of the technical work happened before they entered the frame.</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - Emberá: Panama - I did not need to ask people to perform those aspects of their culture for the portrait series. They were already present, and I found that far more valuable than attempting to reconstruct an image of Indigenous life.</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - Historiantes - There is no single version of Los Historiantes across El Salvador. From one community to another, the stories, characters, costumes, music, and ways of performing can differ.</image:title>
      <image:caption>In photographing Historiantes in both central and eastern El Salvador, I have seen these regional differences firsthand. Masks, decorated headpieces, and scarves or other forms of face covering become part of the visual identity of the characters, helping transform the person wearing them into the role they represent. Their appearance also varies between communities, adding another layer to the way each one has preserved and interpreted the tradition.</image:caption>
