"Amelia" - K'ekchi Maya Elder Toledo District, BelizeBy Lola Reid AllinB&W photography $175. Photography can change our perception of people in other countries and our idea about the larger world, a world we may never experience. My images introduce foreign cultures and exotic locations to our culture by relating the unknown—and therefore potentially frightening— realities of foreign cultures to the known and familiar in our culture so we may better understand that all sentient beings want health, happiness, safety and shelter, for ourselves and for our children.
