Honduras
It was June, 1969, and I was a fresh photo stringer for the Louisville Courier Jounal and Times, which won the Pulitzer Prize for photography. Three other Louisvillians journied to Honduras with me to help in Louisville's "Salute to Latin America". We chronicled the faces of the Central American country. I remember just wandering at random to cities, villages, jungles, workplaces with three Nikons strung around my neck. I shot over 50 rolls of Kodachrome, and these are the pictures that got published.
The picture of the schoolgirls in their white uniforms as the front cover. The city pictures were in Tegucigalpa, you can see the women gathering to do their laundry and bathe their children in the Choltupeca River. And the woman in the marketplaceis one of hundres of merchants whose stalls crowd an open air marketpalce in Comayaguela, the neighboring town on the other side of the river.
I love the multicolored bricks use in the Honduran homes.
In Copan, there is a picture of a girl walking a goat along a mountainside. Sorry about the coffeestain, these pictures were scanned out of my old yellowed copy of the Courier Journal.
